#Ptgui 360 video how to
Besides, the problem with videostitch is, that it ‘just runs’, put the video’s in it, and run… if it fails, you have virtual no idea why and how to fix it. I found the Autopano Video (trial) not very accurate, and a hassle to ‘change’ settings.

Still, videostitch and Kolorpano software are very expensive… (and you still need a ‘stitch’ program). Generally, the closer an object, the harder it will be to get a good stitch, to a point where “good enough” is all you can achieve. If you have a large difference between your foreground objects and your background objects in the overlap areas, you need to focus your control points on either the foreground or the background objects, since a good stitch can be mutually exclusive, in special cases. Placing control points helps bringing those parts together.
General ideas about control points in PTgui: Load the image sequence of the generated panoramas into your video editing suite to edit and produce the actual 360 video.Save the batch list generated by the batch builder, and drop it into the PTgui batch builder.Use the PTgui Batch Builder use “generate new projects” with the “Multiple panoramas per folder with a fixed (6) number of images (6)” method, and pick the folder that contains all the frames of your six video streams.jpg” (assuming that all 6 video streams are in sync) Convert all your 6 videos to image sequences (jpg100), following a meaningful naming convention: “.Set the proper size under the the Create Panorama Tab, including the format (jpg100 recommended).Set the proper batch stitching behavior under the Project Settings Tab: check “Perform auto exposure correction” under the align images behavior, and check “Align Images” under the Batch Stitcher Actions, depending on your scene.Alternatively, change or fine-tune the exposure compensation under the image parameters tab manually.Optimize the exposure under the “Exposure / HDR” Tab with the Settings button.Rinse and repeat steps 4-11 until you are happy with the result.
#Ptgui 360 video plus
Optimize YPR plus individual HV shift, plus VP for the problem tiles.Delete the worst control point pairs, and re-optimize, and check the panorama editor to see if the scene is coming together.Optimize YPR plus FoV plus individual HV shift for all six tiles (if the shift values get too large, something is wrong, better undo and try something else).Generate more control points in those problem areas.Optimize only YPR, and check the panorama editor for problem areas.
