How to "add more light" to a clip ?

Been awhile since I've used Vegas.

In a 4-cam shoot one of the shots didn't have the f-stop set correctly and the subject is to dark.

This is a tight shot of just the face of the subject.

The clip is several minutes long and we need to 'add light' before we render.

Would someone be kind enough to remind me exactly how to do this in Vegas.

Thanks for any help.

PS - We are using Vegas 5

You could use Curves or Levels for this.
Play around with both of them and see which you like better.

Curves might seem to be what youre wanting to use, however curves are probably 2 to 3 times noisier than levels.
Yes they can brighten the shot and its easier to manage than levels, but its definately noisier

Ive now gone through my thousands of presets where i have used curves and swapped them with levels (most not all, as there are some thigns curves can do that levels cant)
The level filtter can bring you about 2 to 3 stops more luminance virtually noise free.
