Working with the .UAD files in Adobe Premiere Pro is the same as working with any other video format. Simply drag .UAD files into projects and timelines, or navigate responsive .UAD thumbnails with the Media Browser.

RAW Image Controls

UAD-RAW Source Settings

When working with UAD-RAW or any raw format, the data needs developing into a normal looking image. Raw formats can expose control over the developing process. These controls can include typical white balance/tint and exposure but also more advanced and creative options. The UAD plugin exposes as much as possible while remaining straight forward to use.

To access the UAD-RAW image controls, select the clip in the timeline and then navigate to the Effect Controls window. Inside the Effect Controls window, activate the Source tab to show the source settings for the clip. This will be titled Source * CLIPNAME.uad.
