I opened a topic under works, but I am not sure that works. ;-)
Anyway, there are pictures to this problem with ICE
thanks

It is a hard one with little detail in many parts of the sphere.
At least, Autopano giga is usually fooled by this and I have to change the stitching by hand.

Hi. Thank you for reaching you to DJI Forum. I am sorry for the trouble that you are experiencing. With regards to the third party software ICE. I would highly recommend to contact ICE support to isolate the issue. Thank you for your valued support.

Autopano giga, discontinued?

Yup it is.
You can find 'trial' versions online and it will still work.

With or without watermark?
I'll test it in the next days!

(you know a 'trial' that never ends)

I'll try(al), will see

I think I got it here if you can't find it.

Oh, if they work, I got them ;-)Will try, later

but:

Can you tell me, WHICH version is your "forever trial" one?
Just in case ...

Those should be it.

I use the giga version.

Montfrooij Posted at 11-29 03:05
I use the giga version.

Short test:
Progress in sight.
Thanks for the tip!

@ s-e-ven did you check my Pm

Also check group settings like this

then the color correction

and render setting

Try to shoot in dlog and import raw(DNG) photo's to stich due to the most detail and information on the photo, and you are good to go
note, use spherical, or little planet(for a 360), because I see in your example cylindrical

I just did, thank you, that worked well!

I will try your settings, for sure.
Autopano is totally new to me, so I just checked it out, if it can "see" something else/more, compared to ICE .
It could, which's promising!

To "dlog/raw" : not before another drone, methinks. Unless DJI gives that to the Spark, I do stuck with mp4/jpg

I think I know now, why ICE isn't getting over this, why autopano also has trouble.
I usually set the AE lock manual in the sunny part, but with just the ocean under it, I "normally" start the capturing somewhere on the structured land part.
(I have lots of these sunsets, over ocean, and got them stitched with just the usual water "blacked" parts)
Looks like that the scenery and colors kept me to excited, to think on this.

dji_MODDER Posted at 11-30 00:56

It's getting better, but I am on the last (stable?) version.
Perhaps I have to get to an older one, to have the same info shown, like in the guides I can google.
Right now, I can not make the 15 missing pictures show up.
46 uploaded, 31 in use, there should be the "guess position" function available, but ....!
I think, I need more time with this!

Nice!
You can align images later on.
It is a bit tricky, but I can help if you need.

Wanna help? Needed! THANK YOU!

I am stepping slowly forward, now I am alining and turning pictures, but:

What is the secret of this circle ones?
How to "make 'em normal squared pictures", again?


Or would it be better, to start aligning them all manual, starting at 1 and going to 46?

in settings try, force every photo in one panorama

dji_MODDER Posted at 12-1 00:39

I did force all in one pano.
Thats why all 46 are in, this time.
46 still is, even with a horizon line in the middle, under pic 45!
Normally it would fit between 44/45 to the left and 1/2 to the right
1-7 I found more on the left, under other pictures.

I may start over, with just the horizon pictures.
Will see, it is a bit challenging, this picture

Yes I think also, normally it should work.

No, you have to do it like so.
They won't get square. They are made into perspective.
I have to look it up for you.
Where is your menu?

I am starting to understand autopano, methinks.
Still a lot to learn, but it shows a (learning;-)curve:

Nice.
There is one setting I turn OFF most of the time.
That is the auto correction (it is a rainbow colored button in the menu)
You can set it off default too.

Will think/check about that, eh, later ;-)

I am still trying to get all 46 images in one picture

If you keep having troubles, send the batch over.
I can try and document the process

Generous!
But right now I have a reason to figure that out myself.
In case I can't make it work, I will consider and get back to your  offer.
Thank you

Autopano is a great editor:
(still not perfect, but ... ;-)

No need, I think!

Thanks for the help!

And indeed. Far from perfect.
That is probably why they ditched it after all.
