Updated Location of "PresetEffects.XML"

When pressed to make Duik updates with code, one may need to locate the 'PresetEffects.XML' to correctly run Duik. For some users of older AE versions (pre-2020), you would find the .xml here:

Applications/Adobe After Effects/Adobe After Effects.app right click and select 'Show Package Contents', go to Contents/Resources/PresetEffects.xml -- and edit the document there.

However, for users of AE 2020+, there's been a location change to that .xml file, here:
/Contents/Frameworks/aelib.framework/Versions/A/Resources/xml/PresetEffects.xml

Important! You will still need to make a copy of the "PresetEffects.XML" in the original location, Contents/Resources/PresetEffects.xml. Duik is looking for the Pseudo Effect code there. I simply copied/pasted the .xml into the other location and left the .xml intact at the new location as well.

Happy Rigging!
