The <path> argument should be the full path, including the drive
letter, filename and extension.
The export mode option is required.
Command :
$ film_master --project PROJ1 --composition COMP1 \
--export-mode single \

Exporting shots on the command line will not generate caches. This
is different behaviour to the GUI where you have a choice of caching
behaviour when exporting media.
