Summary: This patch provides an audience specific minor modification to the user interface. For most audiences familiar with frame rates, Blender's representation can be potentially confusing. This patch provides seven default presets and hides the complexity of the fps_base and fps values in the default view. The advanced settings are quickly exposed when one selects a Custom preset value. The entire patch is implemented at the UI layer, and as such, it does not alter any default Blender behavior. The default frame rates provided are 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60. They are also now easily extensible simply by adding a preset to the scripts/presets/framerate directory.
Further Information: The patch could be made more effective as it makes a comparison of the presets via a series of Python values. Ideally, it would iterate over the presets listed in the presets/framerate path.
