Use any quality setting but not Best (ProRes).

The so called "Best (ProRes)" setting should never be used normally. It is only for use if you want to keep a copy of the project for re-editing.

If you go to File > Share > File, anything less than Best (ProRes) will save as an .mp4.

If you need the ProRes, you will need to use another piece of software like HandBrake or VLC.
