First off, the way you create savePathUrl makes little sense. Replace:

let  savePathUrl = NSURL(string: ("\(documentsURL.appendingPathComponent("temp"))" + ".mp4"))

with:

let savePathUrl = documentsURL.appendingPathComponent("temp.mp4")

And then for the two FileManager manager methods you need a file path. To get a file path from a file URL, you need to use the path property.

if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: savePathUrl.path) {
