What is a .AEP file?
An .AEP file is a type of file that you create when you're working with Adobe After Effects, which is a program used for making special effects and editing videos. Think of an AEP file like a project file where all your work is saved. Inside this file, you can have different parts called compositions. These compositions are made up of layers, and these layers can be anything from video clips, sounds, pictures, text, to shapes that you're using to create your special effects. Besides the content of your video, the AEP file also keeps track of your project settings. This means it remembers how you want your video to look and sound, including things like the quality of the video, the colors you're using, how the audio should be handled, and how the timing of different elements is displayed.
To open an AEP file, you need to use Adobe After Effects. As of 2023, the latest version of Adobe After Effects can open these files. So, if you have Adobe After Effects 2023 installed on your computer, you can double-click on the AEP file, and it should open up in the program, letting you work on your video project or see what's inside the file.
