I was curious if I am able to get adobe after effects for free. Or get an one time purchase I am not up for adobe's subscription.

    There's a trial period and after that you have to subscribe.  You may have already noticed, you can subscribe to just After Effects ($21/month) or to the entire Creative   Cloud suite of applications ($53/month).

    Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud

    If you are a student, the most affordable option is the student pricing. While the academic version can be purchased through Adobe directly (Adobe Creative Cloud | Software and services for creative professionals) there is often better pricing at authorized resellers like JourneyEd (The EDU Techstore | Academic software discounts, Education software discounts | JourneyEd ) and Academic Superstore (Academic Superstore : Academic Software discounts for students, teachers and schools).  Some schools include annual creative cloud membership with tuition.

    You might find a vendor at a computer trade show selling old stand-lone licenses.  They may or may not be Adobe authorized though.  If you find someone selling an old version like CS6, you're buying it at your own risk.

    If you coompare how much the old one time purchase of AE used to be compared to the subscription it is affordable.
