Importing Photoshop Animation into Premiere Pro

[UAMS Razorback]

First of all, to get this out of the way... I do not know how to use After Effects. It is too difficult to learn, and takes forever to get anything done. So....

I use Photoshop's Video Timeline to animate logo effects and animated title bars for my videos, that I edit in Premiere Pro. I create the Photoshop animated files in the same ratio that my camera shoots in, which is 1920x1080. When I am done editing the Photoshop Animation, all I would have to do is drag the PSD file onto the Premiere timeline or import the PSD file into the project box. And I would have my camera footage and the Photoshop animation work just fine, running together in Premiere. Just drag and drop.

But now it's been a few months since I have done my last video edit, which was Summer of 2019, and Adobe has now updated to Premiere 2020 and Photoshop 2020, and this drag and drop simplicity no longer works. Now when I drop the Photoshop animated video into Premiere, it shows up in the project box as a video file, but only plays as a single still image over the moving video footage. (No animation.)  The timeline bar (where I have dropped the PSD file) is the correct length as I created over in Photoshop, but there is no motion/animation to the file in Premiere.

NOTE: I have tried exporting my Photoshop animation as a MP4, but the background transparency shows up default black in Premiere and covers up my camera footage.

One solution would be to edit the whole video in Premiere without the animation files from Photoshop. And then import the Premiere MP4 into Photoshop and layer on the animation to the video in Photoshop. BUT that means I would have to render the video twice, and that normally would lower the resolution of the video, I would think.

Is there someway to get the PSD files to work again in Premiere?

First and formost, Photoshop & premier are not the perfect envirnoment to Animate graphic Elements, 

to render the file with transparency in Photoshop , See the setting below

Thanks, I will check it out. Yes, I know Photoshop is not the best app to use to animate with, but that's all I know how to do, and before the 2020 update, I was not having any issues with moving an animated PSD file into Premiere. I have done it several times in my previous videos. But I will check to see if this works. Thanks!
