Feature Request: Import PSD Layers as Separate Tracks in Premiere Pro

Dear Adobe Team,

As a regular user of both Premiere Pro and Photoshop, I have noticed a workflow limitation that could be greatly improved.

Currently, when importing a PSD file into Premiere Pro as a sequence, all layers are imported as clips but are placed sequentially on the same video track. In contrast, After Effects imports PSD layers as a true composition where each layer is on its own video track, reflecting the original stacking order in Photoshop. This causes extra manual work in Premiere, especially when working on layered graphics.

Could you please consider adding an option in Premiere Pro to:
- Import PSD layers into separate video tracks automatically
- Preserve layer order, basic blending modes, and transparency for each layer
- Create a clean, editable layered structure similar to Photoshop's layout

This feature would significantly improve multi-layered workflows and reduce the necessity to switch to After Effects for tasks requiring layered graphics.

Thank you for your continued efforts to enhance Adobe tools—your dedication to user feedback is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
