It is impossible to OS to give you a message when you erase your file in
the file manager like OS  doesn't run at this moment. When you run it you
have a message but it is too late.
OS works like others Video Editor no-linear.
Followin me, I will be attempt to mark it like invalid, I put in Triaged
section.

Title:
  On exporting video, Openshot can overwrite a source file

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Reproducing:

  Openshot 1.4.1

  Add 1 source video.
   Click file->export video.

  Select same folder as source file.

  Name the exported file name the same as the source file.

  select same file format as the source file

  Click export video.

  The source file is overwritten.  Final exported file is also black
  screen video with flickering white spots.

  Just to make the program more robust-userfriendly, probably be nice to
  not enable the user to export to the same source file.

  It's not critical, but if it happens to an unsuspecting new user who
  doesnt have a copy of his source project file, it would result in bad
  experience.

  One reason why user might want to save to the same filename, is for example editing a single video clip.
  (expecting it to behave like a word processor, where overwriting means saving the last instance of the file)

  If a user knew what would happen (exporting still needs to read from
  the original file which is being overwritten to), no one would want to
  do that.
