If you’ve saved any preset filters, they will be under the Filter Presets group. If you don’t have any preset filters, you will not see the Filter Presets group. See Save as preset.
Click Hide Filters in the timeline header to close the window. NOTE: Your filters are retained when you close the Filters window.
You can manage tags, apply filters, and save preset filters.
