Hello,

I guess this is a 101 question. 
After loading my 137 images, I have some stitching errors. 
How many control points should I add ? 
Once I've added them, what's the next step ? Run the optimizer ?
Many thanks

Hi éric,

Just a few should be sufficient. In this case you'll want a perfect
alignment at the horizon above all, so I would place control points at
the horizon only.

It's possible that the drone has drifted between shots, resulting in
parallax. If you then add control points below the horizon, this may
result in less than perfect aligment at the horizon.

After placing control points, go to the Optimizer tab and press Run
Optimizer.

If you haven't done so yet, do watch the first few video tutorials:

Kind regards,
