Convert AEP to MP4

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert AEP to MP4?
Yes - AEP converts to MP4.

You don't convert an .aep - you RENDER it. In After Effects add the composition to the Render Queue (or 'Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue') and export to MP4 (H.264). The .aep is just the recipe; the MP4 is the cooked result. No third-party tool can render an AEP without After Effects, because it needs all the linked footage and effects engine.
