After Effects Easter Eggs

See the Real Creators
1. Open Adobe After Effects.
2. While holding down the ALT key, click on the HELP menu and choose "About After Effects."
3. Instead of seeing the standard splash screen, you get a "pretty" looking screen with the developer's names ;-)

Property label change
1. Launch After Effects and create a new project.
2. Create a new composition.
3. Import any type of footage into the project and drag it to the timeline to create a layer, then select it on the timeline.
4. From the menu, choose Layer -> Mask -> New Mask.
5. Work your way down to the "Masks" property on your layer by clicking on the triangles. You should eventually reveal lines that let you control four mask properties: Mask shape, feather, opacity and expansion.
6. Hold down ALT, SHIFT and CONTROL, then click on the words "Mask Expansion" (the label for the property right next to the little stopwatch icon).
