50,000 Pixels in Z-Space is nothing (for me). I have projects where I have to use 2000mm camera to match spacecraft camera and routinely use larger distances.
If fact I’ve tested in AE up to “petapixels”.
I’ve not seen viewport problems with this.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the
meaning, all that comes later.

Subject: [AE] I think I broke something
Working in a massive 3D fly-through, once I start placing layers at 50,000 pixels in z-space (don't ask), I can't even zoom in to the layers from the top orthographic view, making items almost impossible to select without using the layer
timeline. If I zoom all the way out I can sort of see each layer but can't pan the view with spacebar either.
Other than setting up the project better from the start, is there any remedy to this?
