Import an EXR image sequence into Premiere Pro/Windows 11?

I'm creating computer graphics animations and am experimenting with outputting the image sequences in EXR format (OpenEXR Multilayer). Unfortunately, neither Premiere nor Photoshop can properly read these EXR images (they display as black frames). I found an addon for Photoshop called Exr-IO which allows Photoshop to read these files, but I can't find anything similar for Premiere.

 

QUESTION: How can I import and edit an EXR image sequence in Premiere Pro?

 

I found a post here from 4 years ago (https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/importing-the-32-bit-exr-sequence-into-adobe...) that addresses the issue and provides a link to an addon, but that link is dead. I've searched around to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks. Premiere Pro 22.1.2, Windows 11

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Premiere Pro supports EXR in any useful way. While there is a 3rd-party addon that allows Photoshop to open and edit EXRs, there doesn't appear to be one that does the same for Premiere. The solution is to use a different video-editing app; in my case, DaVinci Resolve is showing promise.

Yeah I'm in this same boat as well. AE's EXR playback is slow, while EXRs in Premiere seem to import fine but only show up as black frames. Resolve handles them beautifully, but unfortunately Resolve's file management solutions don't fit my pipeline very well.
