Timeline in Premiere is 60fps, can I put a 30 fps in the timeline?

So I did a shoot at 60 fps on my Inspire 2 with X5S camera for an exterior of a building,  And when you shoot it in 4k it makes the video narrow which was fine, but tomorrow I need to shoot the interior and I wanted to shoot it at 30 fps so it widened the video.  Is that a problem or am I better off shooting just in 60?  I'm now shooting mostly in 30 but for this I want to make sure I don't screw it up if I do change it to 30.  Thoughts?

Premiere does a great job of dealing with different frame rates.

My preference is to shoot everything at 24 fps.  It just looks better, more...'professional'.

But if I couldn't use 24 fps for some reason, I would still choose to shoot all the real time footage at the same specs.  Only slow or fast motion shots would be at a different frame rate.

Yeah I need to just make the switch to 24fps I haven't yet so I can slow the footage down a hair if I need to.  Let me ask you another question.  Would shooting in 30 and exporting it in 24 give you the same feel as shooting in 24fps or no?

Thank you again for the help!

No, it wouldn't be quite the same.

You want to film at 24 fps with 180° shutter for that professional 'film look'.

Gotcha, I will start shooting that on Friday for my next project.  Thank you for the help, I really appreciate it!
