Cannot import_rawvideo_essence with mp4. Pixel layout not encoding

import_rawvideo_essence is for embedding raw uncompressed video, the footage your trying to use looks like its in a MP4 container.

Thanks @markreidvfx . Would you recommend using a .mxf file instead?

Depends on what your trying to do and for what Application. If you want to embed it, take a look the import_media.py example. It trys to convert the media via ffmpeg to a embeddable format.
linking externally to a mxf or supported ama format is possible but can be tricky to get an Application to accept. These methods here try to do that, but still rough to use and your mileage may vary...

That's great @markreidvfx, will give this a whirl.
