I have taken multiple panoramas from the same viewpoint, to create a time lapse movie. How can I ensure that subsequent panoramas are aligned when played back in sequence?
By default, for spherical panoramas PTGui will pick a random point on the horizon as the center point. If the first image of all your panoramas was taken in exactly the same direction, you can use the following method: • Set up and align the first panorama in PTGui. In the Project Assistant click on Advanced • Go to the Image Parameters tab and write down the Yaw, Pitch and Roll values of the first image. For every subsequent panorama: • Click on Advanced and go to the Image Parameters tab • Enter the above Yaw, Pitch and Roll values for the first image • Go to the Optimizer tab and set ‘Anchor Image: Image 0’ • Press the Run Optimizer button Now the panorama is aligned around the same point in the first image.

Create a medium sized copy of the panorama in jpeg or tiff format, we will use this to align the subsequent panoramas against. For ea
