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:
>   Confirmed
>
> 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.
