How to open an AEP file.

I appreciate your prompt to contact the author. I’ll reach out if I cannot make use of a free trial of AE. To your point about the product page- I saw “After Effects Project Files” typed below the video that shows what the product is to look like. I’m sure I’m not the only one to have made this error, but to the extreme novice such as myself as it relates to After Effects, for all I knew this was also part of the description. I thought After Effects meant some kind of way to manipulate the product- like some kind of effect that you applied after uploading your logo that would allow you to change the colors used for example. I really had no idea that it was a separate software application.
