I have never heard of FaceBook and YouTube requiring .mov files to be uploaded. See this article : https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en . The same goes for FaceBook if you google the requirements for size and container requirements.

As far as I know the MP4 format (P) is the most accepted.
And recommended by Youtube.
Facebook and WatsZap will limit the size to maximum HD, this for ordinary users.
You should consider that even if you send a video with a lot of quality, it can be reduced, I think to take up less storage space.
I produce video in MP4, then I send directly, I do not use the options that PD offers, even in PD16.

hi thanks ,i managed to upload to you tube then share to respective pages,however the video once uploaded to youtube needed further re edits as it played upside down and even when i flipped it it was in mirror reverse ? i need the MOV files because i supply photos to istock getty images but wanted to also start videos with them but they only accept MOV ,

PD12 makes .MOV files in Produce QuickTime option if I remember.
In PD16 this option was removed.
I took a look at Using iStock files
Standards (HD and SD) - File formats (MOV, MP4)

PD12 does produce .mov files but not in the oem version that you have. You can rotate any video by dragging the circle in the preview screen. Flip is the wrong thing to use as it makes a mirror image of the original. Installing Apple software QuickTime to work with .mov files is a security threat to any Windows pc.
