Your question is an interesting one and although I can't provide a definitive answer I would speculate that yes, such film at least did exist even if it does not exist today. I would further speculate that such film as you search for does exist today, but where it is, and why, in this the 100th anniversary of the WW1, it can't be found I cannot say. Add to the links that you provide in your question the following ' Clip 3 of 9

it does seem reasonable to infer that such a film is to be found somewhere.

According to the historian Jerry Kuehl, in his YouTube video on the subject, the event was neither filmed, nor photographed. The event that would have been filmed (the parade where the grenade was lobbed) didn't kill the Archduke. Only in the back alleys of Sarajevo did Gavrilo Princip seize the opportunity to kill the Archduke who was driving by in his car.
There is an excellent and related video from the YouTube channel called delve about the happenstance nature of the assassination. So it seems unlikely that anyone got it on tape, but if you find something relevant in your research, be sure to share it!
