Converting After Effects files without having AE installed

Hello!

 

I have recently installed Premier Pro 24.2.0, and I'm new to making videos.

 

My predecessor gave me some After Effects files, and I guess I need to convert them so I can use them in my Premiere project.

 

Is there a way to convert those files without have AE installed?

 

Thanks!

Cindy

These are *.aep files, created in After Effects, I believe.

Those must be opened in Ae, they're Ae's project files. Not convertible.

If only I had a student account! I have a business Creative Cloud account, and I have Premiere Pro instead of After Effects since I'm new to creating videos.

What do you mean by Ae files? Ae project files? What? Give an example name with extension.
