Load images and click align. Doesnt matter how many rows. Give yourself 40% overlap for best results. If it isn't working look at your source images, if you cant see features in frames that you could align manually ptgui wont be able to do it either.Hi, can you please tell me how to make panoramas by PTGUI when I have 3 rows? I only can make panorama with one row pictures. Thank you for you help.
Ok... I will try it... How many pictures do you usually take to have best results?Load images and click align. Doesnt matter how many rows. Give yourself 40% overlap for best results.

As many as I need to generously frame the intended subject with 40% overlap.Ok... I will try it... How many pictures do you usually take to have best results?
You must be in F mode.Does Litchi panorama work only in F-mode? I once tried it and, on a windy day, the AC moved about 30m when it got all 26 images which took a few minutes. I then missed the P-mode GPS position hold but I guess Litchi needs F-mode? The AC was at about 30m altitude -- does vision positioning work in F-mode or was the AC too high for it?
Great tips... Thank you a lotAs many as I need to generously frame the intended subject with 40% overlap.
Another tip- if you have props in frame edit them out before stitching.
Also- shoot manual so all frames have same exposure values. You will end up with a much more natural looking final image.

People say hugin is good.
PtGUI is good value when you consider what it does. You may head back towards it when you have bracketed EV series and want it to blend and stitch.
Happy flying.
PTGui is best. For sheer power and productivity, nothing else even comes close. It’s not totally automated like some others, but it’s not that difficult to learn and you have incredible control. You can set control points marking vertical lines and/or the horizon. Getting a perfect horizon is one of the hardest things to do in an aerial panorama. You can use individual settings for each photo in the panorama, which helps with the drone/camera being moved slightly off center during the sequence. If/when you find a stitching error, you can use PTGui’s masking feature to paint in/out one of the overlapping images. But maybe I’m biased – for ten years it’s all I’ve used for aerial and ground panoramas.
The first two panos on this page are from my P3, shot with Litchi and stitched with PTGui:

This may have already been answered in this thread but how did you make that picture, it's awesome. Is there a special setting or app I need to use?Actually just found Image Composite Editor.
Image Composite Editor - Microsoft Research
It's free as it's part of a Microsoft Research program (or something) & it works way faster than PTGUI. Kind of in love...
Over the weekend I followed Ed Finks advice and tried / purchased PT Gui - my first Pano on a P4 / Litchi using all the default settings (Litchi and PT Gui) produced what I think are excellent results. So I'm very happy with this solution.
Test Panorama
I do have one question: Does anyone know if it's possible to generate hotspots (clickable links to other images) using the viewer from PT Gui, or do I need to use something link krpano to acheive this?
Robert, I use krpano for hotspots. I don't think anything compares with it, although there is a little learning curve.
NOTE: I took a look at your test panorama. You need to ...

Yes, at least it does in Litchi 1.7.0 for iOS.Does Litchi auto pano work with AEB, or does it set the camera to single shot?
Thanks, that is great news. Now if I could just fine an app that works the same with my OSMO.Yes, at least it does in Litchi 1.7.0 for iOS.
You need to set your AEB brackets in Litchi itself, not in GO.
