![]() When compared to Kolor's Giga, I find I can work much faster and do more in ptgui. Ptgui has been around since 1996 and is still a wonderful panorama stitching program. Video-Stitch has many great features and you can stitch video while never leaving the program, but you'll need PTGUI in order to do more advanced work. So if we can't seem to stitch correctly in AVP, we can usually make it work better in VS, and if we are having issues at a particular seem in VS, we can usually make it better in AVP. And Video Stitch (along with PTGUI) has a better way to find control points and stitch. In very broad terms, I think Autopano Video Pro is easier to learn and has some great features like smart iso, and the ability to key frame masking, etc. For the purposes of this article, when I speak about AVP, I'm talking about the package with Autopano Giga and same for Video-Stitch with PTGUI. Kolor's best program is called Autopano Giga and Video Stitch uses PTGUI, so do your homework and be prepared before you make your purchase. The good news is you can't really go wrong, they're both great programs! If you're a 360 video professional, you might want to consider getting both and you'll understand why after you read this post.Īlso, it's important to note that while you can stitch video in both of these programs without further software, MOST people use other software to do the real stitching work. They may have to modified slightly.In this article I will talk about the differences between Kolor's Autopano Video Pro (AVP) and Video-Stitch (VS). However, I’m not sure if any of the plug-ins work with the Z1 right now. It’s definitely possible to turn off the stitching of the Z1 JPG images from inside of a plug-in. I think he has it running on a Z1 for his personal use. Did you try the plug-in below with the Z1 and it didn’t work? If so, I will send him a note and maybe he will update it. He’s the same author that made the dual-fisheye plug-in in the store. The author of the Android Theta Z1 Stitcher is Ichi Hirota. The camera can turn off stitching, but the mobile app would need to be updated to support this feature. It’s probably worth checking the newest version of the RICOH mobile app to see if this feature is added yet. The Wi-Fi API (the one the mobile app uses) specifies a way to turn off the stitching of the image of the Z1 and V (firmware 3.00.1 and above).Įither the mobile app already has this new feature ( I have not checked yet) or I suspect (I don’t know for sure) that it will be added soon. It can be, that i mixed to much different questions. (yes, i know the problem of moving objects). Is there a way/possibility to switch off the stitching of JPGs for the Theta Z1? I do not need that and it takes a lot of time while in the meantime some people/objects are moving more than i want. Or, of course a different app that works (like the hopefully upcoming EXR app). In addition i am interested in the complete Dual Fisheye functionality (taking diff pictures for manual conversion and creating an “HDR” picture out of 5-7 single pictures later after export to my mac). The mentioned “DualFisheye” looked like are able to solve that problem. Thats the reason why i asked (and searched for) to have a possibility to not stitch jpgs in camera. But jpgs are already stitched internally. I know the other apps for the old Theta and Miui and therefore thought to test this one for my new Z1 too.Ī) The Theta app (on Droid) only allow export of JPG to the mobile and not dng.ī) if i share an exported jpg directly to the “Theta Z1 Stitcher for evaluation” i receive the mentioned error about that “The image is not supported”. You wrote about the “Theta Z1 Stitcher for evaluation” which is a Droid application. ![]() I am fine there (with LR, Stitcher, PTGui, Autopano…). I am not keen to search for a workflow on my Mac/PC.
