Assertion Fail when certain Assets fail to import
Seeing the error message: 'GetObject failed to find Object for Library Representation' when audio or aideo assets fail to import.
Tracking down the issue seems to lead to IsVisibleInLibraryRepresentation in AssetDatabaseV1.cpp not being able to handle an error with no asset attached.
Reproduction steps:
1. Download attached movie + create a new project
2. Import the movie and enable transcoding
3. Error should appear in console, if not disable + enable transcoding again.
This reproduces on windows only, as the particular movie clip does not transcode on windows.
So to wrap up what seems to be happening here: Transcoding fails on importing the video, which is a valid failure. A secondary failure then emerges which is that the AssetDatabase can't cope with an error that has no asset attached (because no asset could be generated).
