  You’re just modifying the existing PresetEffects.xml file.

  In the example, he’s modifying the controls for the preset “Separate XYZ Position”. So once you fire up AE, you just apply that preset from the Effects & Presets palette.

  I haven’t tried modifying the .xml file lately but the presets in there show up in my Effects & Presets palette. Do you have “Show Animation Presets” selected in the palette fly-out?
