Essential Graphics and Morgt from After Effects need decimals in slider option
Right now the slider only shows whole numbers.
I can enter a value with decimals, but Premiere rounds them.
The rounded value differs from the values in After Effects.
After entering the value with decimals in Premiere, it is not possible to edit them.
We need a more accurate slider.
FYI we designed templates for our journalists, they use Premiere Pro for editing.
The use of templates should be as easy as possible.

If only we could, Dacia! I expect we'll be updating in the new year and after our current project wraps up. Until then I will be able to manage and will have some downtime in January to update the MOGRTs.
Thanks for your input Dacia.

What can we do to help bribe IT?
That's a double-bummer!And yes, you're correct. We had a project bump in 23.0 so the Mogrt .api from 23.1 will not work in 22.x. They will be compatible with any version of PR 23.0 and later.
I tried to find a batch exporting script on aescripts but no dice. There are enough scripting hooks to create one though. 🧐

Thanks for the update Dacia. Glad to see it got implemented. It won't help me until my IT approves updating to v23.1 of AE and PP (I assume v23.1 MOGRTs won't work in Premiere v22).

Good news-ish....
It is now possible to see decimals for slider values in your Mogrts when exported out of the latest release version of AE 23.1on two conditions.
- Custom ranges for the sliders need to be edited to include a decimal.
- Mogrts have to be re-exported out of AE 23.1 (or after).The bummer is that all of the Mogrts will need to be edited and re-exported. :(

Yes! All other text fields for non-MORGT properties show one decimal place by default and when you click in them, they show additional places if applied. MOGRT values should exhibit the same behavior.
I have many MOGRTs that have time-based options (i.e. seconds) and being able to SEE what values have been entered is critical. The current behavior of rounding up or down to whole number is misleading and confusing. Even worse, clicking in the field does not show the decimal values you entered, so you have to try and remember what you entered or just guess.
Terrible UX design.
