How do you save favorite effects in a "favorites" folder in After Effects?

Premiere Pro has a nice "favorites" folder and easy to drop 'em in.

 

What about After Effects?

 

Thanks,

Letty

You also have this folder in the Effects & Presets panel. As soon as you want to save a favorite animation, effect or group of effects, you only need to select them inside the timeline panel and go to Animation > Save animation preset. Also you can drag and drop this selection over the Effects & presets panel and you will have the same result. After Effects will prompt you to create a FFX. Once you save the file you can access to this preset from the Effects and Presets Panel.

Can someone post a video of how to do this? I want to "star" or favourite some presets but cant work out how to do it? I tried to star them in bridge but that doesnt work either? Just want to be able to access my faves easily?!
