APE 14 Video Importer Error: “File already exists at: Target Location”.

I am trying to move a clip from a camera chip, MP4, inserted in its slot on my PC, using Video Importer. I have done this many times before. I get an error message “File already exists at: Target Location”. This is a new location, never added anything to it before.

Video Importer Settings:

Save In: Correct Location, I checked
Add to time line: checked
I can see the clip I want
Uncheck All
Check, select, the clip I want
Highlighted the clip
Clip appears in preview
Selected "Get Media"
“File already exists at: Target Location”

I tried another clip that worked in another program and get same error message.

As usual I assume operator error, since I have  done this successfully before, but what am I doing wrong? Very puzzled.

Thanks! Cheers! Phil

    I found the answer from some of the other posts on this subject. I moved the clip to a place on my hard drive. 

    Thanks everybody for the other posts.

    Cheers! Phil
