You'll have to convert it into a decal which will then play it in a sequence.
It goes without saying that a real time video game can not have a 1000 frames worth of particle dust.
The decal can have a total resolution of 4096*4096 and the effect will have to be divided in rows on there which are later referenced in the decalspec file.

1000 is way too much. For instance Fallout 4's high quality fire particle atlas only uses 8 frames...

(sprite resolution reduced by half to prevent copyright infringement)

Additionally, for sprites you should use alpha channel supported DDS file format instead of PNG's.
