Rendering Animations with Transparency

I've created an animation in PS CC on a transparent background.  I want to import the animation into PP CC in order to have it play over other video frames.  It used to be possible to render an AVI out of PS and maintain the transparency.  That no longer seems to be possible with the new, unimproved, stripped down export options.

Is it possible to render out an animation with transparent background from PS that can be imported into Pr?

If rendering an animation with transparent background out of PS isn't possible, what is the best way to create the animation I need?

Thanks.

    Hi

    Go to the menu at the top right of the timeline and use Render Video.

    Use the format below and it should import to PP with transparency

    That's the problem.  QuickTime (AVI) isn't an option.  It seems it was removed in CS6, as far as I can determine.

    That screenshot is from CC2017.0.1.

    It renders as a ***.mov file which opens in Premiere Pro CC2017 without an issue and drops in above another with transparency. I tried it
