I see that you're set to Rec709 there. What are the color space settings on the source media and the export?

 

A pic of export settings might be helpful as well. The summary area in the export window will show a decent amount.

 

Also, do you have a pic or link or anything to show what you mean by the "color is choppy"?

So i don't acutally know what that means, where would i find out what my colour rec is? It was shot on the DJI Air 2S, 5.2k, 30 FPS

 

Attached is a picture of my export settings, and what i mean by the choppy color.

Your issue might simply be that you're exporting with a very low bitrate for a 5k clip. 10Mbps would be relatively low bitrate even at 1920x1080. You should be using more like 100 Mbps for what you have. And you can uncheck Max Render Quality. You aren't doing any scaling between your sequence and export.

But make sure your Export Color Space is set to Rec709. It should be locked to that unless you're using the High10 Profile. I don't think the DJI Air shoots HDR, but I could be wrong (Edit: I looked it up and it seems like it can shoot HDR. So for starters I'd turn that off on your drone unless you're trying to do HDR work. But in Premiere you'd need to select the footage in the Project Panel, right click, Modify > Interpret Footage, and change the color space to Rec709 down at the bottom if it's not already. And again make sure the media, sequence, and export color spaces are all Rec709)
