hello,i wish to use Microsoft Image Composite Editor (ICE) to stich the 46 photos taken by the spark in spherical pano mode, but I fear i need to tell ICE wich is the correct sequence the photos must put in  ..  which is the "scheme"  that  Spark uses to shoot picture after picture?  I still can't figure out if it shoots 4 photos with different pitches keeping the same yaw, then it yaws by a certain angle and then it shoots again 4 times with different pitches and so on...
In other words, wich is thr way  spark and DJI go 4 build the "array" of photos to be stiched , how many rows?  how many columns?
thanks

You don't need to tell ICE anything, just copy/past/insert the photos and ICE will do it itself.

if i let iCE do the job, the exported files is  not understood as spherical by facebook... size is not 2:1 ratio.. i heard facebook needs  A 2:1 aspect ratio to treat images as spherical, moreover some metadata must be set appropriately..  what program can i use to resize and put the correct petadata in the exported picture?

Take your stitched .jpg into photoshop.
Resize image to 16000 wide maintaining aspect ratio
Resize canvas to 16000 wide and 8000 high - You will see the option of 8 selectable arrows to position the image at the bottom of the canvas. If not, manually move image to bottom of the canvas.
You will now have a 2:1 .jpg. It will have a blank strip at the top because your spark can't point upwards. You can leave it blank or fill it in using a variety of techniques.
