Lowlight Settings

I'm filming on the f1 setup on streets at night and it seems noisy and not enough light is getting in. Is there a scene file I can use to brighten things up without it getting noisy. I need to use 720 60p and preferably a 1/120 shutter.
 
1/120 shutter is not going to get you a lot of light at all... You would want to add light if you need those particular settings.

You would be a lot better off using 30p and 1/30 shutter for low light. Also more gain the more the noise... I would try not to use over +6.

Also, lowering the Master Ped to -2 worked nicely for me...

What MadHMC150 said.

The default shutter for 720p/60 is 1/60 I believe. By doubling the shutter to 1/20, you are effectively cutting in half the amount of light that makes it through the lens, and more likely then not you aren't getting any benefit from it. If you really need the "video look" or are shooting action sports or something, the default 1/60 shutter should be fine. Otherwise, as MadHMC150 said try shooting 720p/30 with 1/30 shutter (I believe the default for 720p30 is also 1/60). That will help increase the amount of light by a large margin.
