How can you import a Photoshop .psd file with layers as individual items?

The correct approach to import a Photoshop .psd file with layers as individual items is to select the file and change the import option to individual layers. By doing this, you enable the software to recognize and separate each layer within the .psd file, integrating them individually into your project timeline or workspace. This is particularly useful when you need to maintain the integrity of the original design work while enabling individual manipulation of each layer for animation or editing purposes.

Utilizing this feature enhances workflow efficiency since it avoids the need for additional steps like converting files or manually copying and pasting layers, which could lead to errors or time consumption. In this way, it directly facilitates a smoother transition from Photoshop to your video editing project, preserving the creative elements set in the original artwork.
