Please take a look on this video (~1min.). Shot on August 31, 2019, Mavic 2 Zoom, time 3:30 pm, weather was clear and a bit cloudy.

There is consistent whitish color effect on video top and sometimes moving camera gimbal corrects it and sometimes it is substantially visible on whole video.

What is the process to remove this effect. Do ND filters remove such noise? Or Adobe Premiere software does..

Please guide,...

Thanks

Looks like it was a cloudy and foggy day judging by the seemingly wet streets. Maybe just a light fog only apparent when enough distance existed between subject and drone.

That's true. Rain did happen around 3 hrs before
 
Is ND filter the solution?
Don’t believe so.... ND filter will only reduce the light entering the lens, it will not change the light dispersal. You might try a mild polarizing filter like NDPL4 to see if it cuts down the reflected light but still allows the closer field capture you want... don’t know if that will work though.

ND or ND/P would fix it. its natural light/fog I think.

Thanks to all, for the solutions.
More acceptance of the environmental conditions, and a lowering of expectations, rather than actual solutions. ;) You can't remove what was actually there. Horizon haze is very common, and a zoom lens like the M2Z merely compresses it. One possible solution is a using graduated neutral-density filter, also known as a graduated ND filter, split neutral-density filter, or just a graduated filter, which would increasingly darken the exposure from the horizon to to the sky. It can improve the contrast in the hazy area, without making the foreground too dark. Freewell makes some for the M2Z.

Rightly said that something that is there, can't be removed..
