-Preconditions: An active sequence must exist. Adobe Media Encoder must be installed. The output directory must exist and be writable.
-
-Export runs asynchronously via AME — this tool queues and starts the export, but completion may take minutes. The tool returns after the export job is queued (not after it finishes).

-Common preset paths:
-- macOS H.264 1080p: /Applications/Adobe Media Encoder [year]/MediaIO/systempresets/4028/HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality.epr

-If preset_path is omitted, uses default H.264 1080p settings.
-
-Parameters:
-- output_path: Absolute path for the output file including extension (e.g., .mp4, .mov, .mxf).
-- preset_path: Path to an AME .epr preset file. Determines codec, bitrate, and format.
-- work_area_only: If true, exports only the range between work area in/out points instead of the full sequence.
