How to improve quality of low light video
I am shooting weddings using a Canon HV20 in HD mode. In low light situations their is grain and noise present in the video. Which effects or presets should I be using to clean up the digital noise, brighten and improve clarity of the video? Which effects and in which order??

While all after post production tweaks are problematical, I’d look at the effects, Shadow/Highlights (lots of tuts online for the PhotoShop filter with the same controls)and Remove Grain. You can make a lot of changes with these two but it takes time to get a feel for what the filters can and can’t do with your footage.

Try removing noise first, and then brightening with the Exposure effect; find a gentle balance between these two.
