Convert large image to panorama

[Umer Abrar]

Hello,

I am new to PTGui software. I want to know if it is possible to have a large normal image converted to panoramic in PTGui. Specifically the top and bottom edges so that when I convert it into 360 video it is seamless. Pleas and thank you.

It is unlikely that an image covers the whole 180x360° you need for a
seamless spherical presentation, since standard (rectilinear) images
seldom cover more than 120° width or height. You can convert any image
to 360° spherical, but you'll get either large empty areas or a very
distorted and possibly cropped panorama.

However, if your image is in equirectangular (spherical) projection and
covers the whole 180x360° you won't need to convert it, since usual
spherical viewers accept this format directly.
