Make the user able to choose output file name when using export to XML #383

When you export to XML (to Premiere Pro, in my case), the names of all videos prepared for rendering will be "AUTO-EDITOR MEDIA GROUP." Something that can be very useful is a way to use the name that we want directly from the command line with arguments.

There are many ways and options to do that:

I'm processing videos in groups of 40 with script automation, but in the end, all files have the same filename. So, it's a bit frustrating to check each video just to rename it. So yeah, it would be something that I'll use, not something that can just be usefull sometime ahah.

You can already do this.

auto-editor file.mp4 --export 'premiere:name="Hello"'

is there a problem with that syntax ?

(i'm on windows and everything works fine without 'name=' part)

Btw, does this work with other software than premiere pro xml ?

Yes, actually, --export can't be in the single quote

seems that premiere cannot be 'premiere'
