Footage Interpretation frame rate 23.9760 vs 23.98

Hi,

If I change the footage interpretation frame rate (with setFootageInterpretation()) of an item to 23.9760, Premiere Pro shows 23.98. Is there a way to avoid the rounding the value?

That's not the behavior I see, with this; what are we doing differently?

// new project, import just one piece of valid media, then run the following from ESTK:

var currentItem = app.project.rootItem.children[0];

var interp = currentItem.getFootageInterpretation();

if (interp) {

alert("Original frameRate = " + interp.frameRate + " FPS.");

interp.frameRate = 23.976;

currentItem.setFootageInterpretation(interp);

var safetyInterp = currentItem.getFootageInterpretation();

alert("Retrieved frameRate = " + safetyInterp.frameRate + " FPS.");

}

Here's a screencast.

No; I think that rounding is only in the UI. If you re-open the footage interpretation dialog, the value is 23.976, right?

Unfortunately, no. I know that the input box on the Interpret footage form is rounded to 2 digits, but the display of the framerate on the project panel is always correct. If I set the framerate in the UI, it's correctly saved as 23.976 (although the input box displays 23.98), but with the script, it always rounded to 23.98.
