Importing after effects

[Gopher_Greene]

I've searched and couldn't find this addressed, is there a way to import an .aep after effects file without owning After Effects?

No. After Effects Project (aep) files are instructions to after effects as to what to do with the source files when it renders. Useless without AE. You can however import the rendered output from AE.
