Getting AEP into Resolve

After wasting my entire day searching online for this answer, I finally realized asking you guys would be more direct.  Ever do that?  Sheesh, when will I learn?

I'm ready to jump the adobe ship as I just can't justify the non-sustainable never ending subscription.  So I've downloaded Davinci Resolve (free version) that I'll try out until my adobe runs out next week and see if I like it.

I've been going through all my files, trying to figure out what formats to save all my different files in that will be transferable to other software- i.e., PSD, ID, PPro, AUD.

I think I've mostly got things covered.  Except for AEP's.  I'm having trouble figuring out what to do with them.  Specifically, I bought some color grade aep's off Envato for my projects, as well as some graphics packages.

Color grading: https://videohive.net/item/20-advanced-color-grading-effects/7358833

Graphic Titles: https://videohive.net/item/quick-titles/8592373

How can I use these once my CC subscription ends?  Is there a format I can save them in so my purchase isn't wasted?

Looking forward to some wisdom.  Thanks in advance!

      Just the forum's anti-vulgarity algorithm going haywire. You have to render to lossless formats like PSDs, TIFFs, EXRs and import those into resolve and Fusion, respectively. That's all rick is (presumably) saying. Of course all editable data and parametric definitions will be lost. It will be just pixels. There are scripts and plug-ins that exchange some datae across the programs, but none of that does you any good. The Free versions of Fu and Res do not support plug-ins or scripting extensions just like of course you'd still need AE in some form as a source to transfer data via clipboard like transferring keyframes. You're running in circles on that one if you don't plan on signing up to AE on a permanent basis, annoying as the subscription model may be.

      Thanks everyone for chiming in.  Didn't mean to get into an Adobe vs BM discussion, but I'm with many of you- perpetual license FTW.  I've been scouring online- CL, Ebay, Facebook Marketplace to buy an older version of creative suite so that I can own the software and not have to keep bending over for Adobe each month, but they are simply not to be had.  The few out there are counterfeit and unreliable.  I'll take what's available to me now, at a very reasonable price, and mine to own, not to rent.  Even if they decide to move on in the future, I've still got my copy ranging from free to $299, so suck it adobe.

        There is no way to transfer an AEP to resolve. You'll have to render the elements you want to keep to a suitable production format and use them that way. Many of the asses can be used.

        Resolve is not a motion graphics and compositing app like AE is so you may find things you can't do with it, but it is pretty powerful. I use it several times a month.

        Thank you for the response, Rick.  I'm a little confused- your reply says many of the **** can be used- what is * referring to? 

        And, forgive my ignorance, but what does it mean to render the elements to keep in a suitable prod. format?

        So, even with Resolves addition of Fusion for graphics, etc, I wouldn't find a crossover?
