Help: Manually Creating Panoramas

I wasn't tremendously happy with the seams in the Mavic Air's panoramas, and someone suggested taking the source images and doing it with other software.

I tried Microsoft's ICE, but it demands a certain numbering scheme that is incompatible with the Mavic Air's output, and I haven't worked out how to do this properly.  Can anyone offer some advice?

And I knew, from prior experience, that Hugin was a thing, so I gave that a shot.  The results were humorous, but not encouraging.

Running it on full auto, I got this:

WrongPano-2s.jpg

Which is super cool, but not really what I was after.

After loading all 25 images and manually adding 3-6 control points each, I got this:

WrongPanos.jpg

Closer!  But...  I dunno, I was hoping for something a little less surreal.

So I painstakingly, over the course of a few hours, added up to ten control points, adding one image at a time and making sure it was linked as many ways as possible to other images, and I got this:

WrongPano-3s.jpg

Except for the giant space spiral this worked fairly well.  But, you know,

Giant space spiral.  =/

So I'd love some advice.

Search is your friend....  Search for tiny globe Microsoft ICE...   You will get lots of hits and some videos on how to make them.  I use ICE and it works great and is really easay.

Thanks for the link.  It was an awful slog getting to the five minute mark where he finally said the thing I needed to know, but it was definitely there.  

I guess ICE doesn't do equirectangular exports.   It's a bit of a PITA to paint the sky myself later, but that's far less of an ordeal than messing with Hugin all day.  ^_^
