Love it! So how do I save this as a preset? Tried dragging range selectors over to Effects & Presets window, but did not work.
Thanks!

Thank you so much for creating a sweet and simple tutorial. I am pretty much a novice to After Effects (took a few classes on AE in school), and this was extremely concise and helpful. I will definitely view more of your tutorials.
