: Need information on .aep files and related stuffs I have never used adobe before and in fact have no experience of Graphics design as such. . I got an animation developed on freelancers.com.

It is perfectly normal for motion graphics source files be 10-100 times smaller than their source. You can easily get much higher rates than this too.

File size is not a good indicator of feasibility since it tells us nearly nothing. So while the file size you describe is reasonable it tells you absolutely nothing about whether or not you have all sources. To do so you would have to open the after effects project file and try to re-render it.

In itself having sources does not guarantee you can make changes. The changes in animation files can be really hard to do. There have many situations where i have had the full source files and still unable to do changes in timely fashion. This is especially true if you are not familiar with the software or the technique used in the software. The only way you can be sure you can make changes is to try make changes.
