Validity per container
- MOV: pair common - ProRes inside MOV is Apple's intended pair; not designed for direct upload.
- MP4: pair unusual - FFmpeg can mux ProRes into MP4; not a normal creator upload target.
- WEBM: pair invalid - non-standard; effectively invalid for WebM distribution.
- MKV: pair unusual - FFmpeg can mux ProRes into MKV; rare in practice.
