Avid Cinema: Don‘t Save Movie With Same Name (6/97)

I am using Avid Cinema to create movies. When I create a movie and save it everything works fine. After I make some changes and save the movie again, it turns into gibberish. How can I avoid this?
In Avid Cinema 1.1 or 1.1.1 (not 1.0), if you save a movie to the hard disk using any of the "Save movie for..." options and then save it again using the same name and in the same location, the resulting QuickTime movie will be corrupt and appear as gibberish. To avoid this, give the movie a different name or save it in a different location on the hard drive.
