Windows 10: Playing .AAE files

How can I get Microsoft Media Player to recognize and play .AAE files?

:)

 

.aae corrupted pictures

Actually *.aae files are not the images. They are edits to images. See
https://fileinfo.com/extension/aae It's my understanding that *.aae files are just XML, so you should be able to open them using Notepad, but you won't be able to use the information.

You should have files that have the same names as the *.aae files but with *.jpg extensions. If you don't, it seems as if you saved the wrong thing.

The AAE file and extension: What is its purpose, how do I open it and can I delete it?

 

Photos - view .aae files

Hi Diane,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

An
AAE file contains edits made to an image using the Photos app on an iOS device. It is used to transfer non-destructive edits a user has made to
‘.jpg’ images. Basically these are additional files that are created next to the actual
jpg photo file.

If you import pictures from an iOS device to Windows, only the
JPEG images will get transferred and not the AAE files, which will cause to lose your edits. Also,
AAE files can be deleted without erasing the pictures but any edits made will be undone.

If you want to view a .aae file on your PC, you need to have the appropriate program installed. You may use your favorite search engine and look for the appropriate program that supports
.aae files.

Hope it helps,

Let us know if you got the help you needed by clicking ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.

 

AAE - Videos - How to access

AAE files are not images (or videos). See
https://fileinfo.com/extension/aae

An AAE file contains edits made to an image using the Photos app on an iOS device. It is used to transfer non-destructive edits a user has made to .JPG images in iOS to the macOS system. AAE files can be found accompanying the images for which they
contain edits.

Videos taken on an iPhone will likely be .MOV files. Videos purchased from the iTunes Store may be .M4V files
