I am only getting around now to looking at a Wedding we done a couple of months ago and my second camera forgot to turn of their ND Filter for the brides entrance at the start of the wedding ceremony so the picture is really dark and noisy, what is the best method to brighten this up and reduce the noise, I wil be using Premiere Pro 2.

Thanks for any help, the way it is at the moment I will possibly have to do this short part in Black & White.

You might try the shadow/highlights effect in combination with dust and scratches. Try a small selection from the clip to determine the best settings as these effects may take some time to render.

An old film effect would work perfect to cover that up and when done right, won't look like a mistake was made at all.

Paul-

I find if you go with a "soft focus" effect it will take some of the grain and noise out.
