Export to YouTube: Don't want 60fps

Question

Export to YouTube: Don't want 60fps

I created 3 different movies in iMovie using the same imported clips (mp4). One of the movies I exported to YouTube shows up on YouTube as 720p. The other two show up as 720p60. The 720p60 movies lag severely, while the 720p movie plays seamlessly as all my other movies have. I used the same settings to export to YouTube for all 3 movies. Why would one be different than the other two?? I don't want 60fps videos on YouTube. How can I prevent this?

iMovie 10, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

The framerate is set to that of the first clip put into the timeline, so to get a 30fps movie you need to put 30 fps clip in first. it doesn't matter what it is since it can be deleted later. See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.1/#/move6ccb3330 for details. To change your 60 fps movies to 30 create a new project, put a 30 fps clip in, copy all from your existing 60 fps movie and paste into the new one. Delete the 30 fps clip and share.
