Is 60 fps ok for youtube video?

I shot drone footage at 59.94 and my sequence contains mostly GoPo MP4 at 59.94fps. I have added still shots used SET TO and applied ken burns effect and I have 3 very short (seconds) MOV files at 29.97 . The video on timeline appears to look fine. Will I have a problem when exporting to YouTube?

Should I redo the timeline to a 29.97 sequence? If so would I need to use frame blending for the dropped frames?

I shot at 59.94 setting for sharper footage and possible slo motion use (which I did not utilize in video). I am not sure if the faster fps actually made any difference in sharpness. Thanks for any help you may offer.

Thank you for your reply. Youtube states: Content should be encoded and uploaded in the same frame rate it was recorded.

So I think I will be ok they do accept 60fps and it is not interlaced. I will do a test video privately on youtube to make sure the 30 fps is also ok.

In regards to the sharpness, the camera was a GoPro and the shutter speed is not adjustable. Not sure if I should shoot in the future with 60 fps as I think the 30 fps is closer to the standard. Tried to shoot specs the same but then I had the need to add MOV files.
