Describe the bug

When you try to open an existing project from the default projects folder, if you moved or deleted the source file from the origin folder when you first created the project it errors and says the file is missing. If you have a temp video on your downloads folder and then you create the project and delete the source file because you "no longer need it" you won't be able to open the project anymore.

Expected behavior

If the project is dependent of the source file then the app should copy the source file to the projects folder so it is always available and so it references it from there and not the source folder.

To Reproduce

  1. Create a video and put it in your downloads folder
  2. Open Recordly and select that video
  3. Edit the video, save the project, export it if you want to mp4 or gif
  4. Close Recordly
  5. Move the source video from Downloads to another folder or delete it
  6. Open Recordly
  7. Click on Open project and select the previous project we just created
