Does Photoshop Elements 2023 support importing iPhone HDR videos?

I have Photoshop Elements 2020 and it does not support importing videos with HDR on.  The error I believe is the default error about the HEVC CODEC, but I have that installed that and it works corretly.  The videos play fine on my PC if I copy them over manually, but will not import through Elements.    I just want the ability to import them into my catalog and view them using the Organizer.  Does Photoshop Elements 2023 support that?

@John T Smith, the OP is asking about importing videos into the Organizer.  The Organizer is an integral part of Premiere Elements, although some may not use it.  The OP posted in the Photoshop Elements forum and I moved it here.  Since there is no Organizer forum, and since the question is about videos, I believe the PRE experts here are best equipped to provide advice.

Yes, PE support prores again, but that does not mean it imports H.265. You need to buy and install the HEVC codec first. (which is refuse).

I have no knowledge about Organizer.

Returning to this after buying the product and dealing with Organizer 2023 HEIC problems, but it appears that Organizer 2023 still does not support importing iPhone videos with HDR on.

Why are you asking a Photoshop Elements question in the Premiere Elements forum?

Well, I have now been able to import the 48 MP ProRes file using iPhone setting to Keep Originals for Transfer to PC. Elements 2023 can definitely handle it.

As I understand it, iPhones have HDR video turned on by default.  In general, there should be no problem importing videos with HDR into the Organizer.  Elements 2023 should also have no problem importing ProRes files into the Organizer.  However, having said that, I just tried importing a ProRes video recorded @745193 MP and the APD did not find it. But neither did Windows File Explorer when I tried to search the phone's drive.  (A 12 MP ProRes file imported without difficulty.)  I will continue to investigate this issue, but in the meantime, I am moving this discussion to the Premiere Elements forum where more expertise is likely to be available.
