You need to get the seams right first. Be aware that a template will work for a single distance only. So you need to know what kind of situation you will shoot later, and make a template for that exact situation. E.g. ALL control points at 10 meters from the camera. Yours are at 5 meters on the sand, and at the horizon in the opposite direction. Also there are absolutely no cps on all the the seams of sky and asphalt. That will never work. >From my experience using a tripod and setting up in a small clearing in the woods with 10 meter diameter to high trees really works well. You need lots of features at ALL the seams. Then place the cps manually because you do not have the overlap nor the resolution for any automatic cp finder to ever work. Like Bruno suggested use "enblend --no-optimize" to avoid flickering of the seams. Also you need decent images for making the template. Shoot at around noon for that. Not very late in the afternoon with the sun close to the horizon, screwing up the images. What I did when trying your images was to close hugin, make a copy of 2-2.png, change brightness and saturation in Gimp until I could actually see something, then use that image for manual cps. Then close hugin, rename images back. Open hugin and optimize for exposure with the original image. This is the pano I got: http://bit.ly/NH6Fdb Temp image for control points only: http://bit.ly/QbYjNL For shooting later: Avoid shooting at dusk and dawn, the cameras you use are known to be bad with low-light situations. Also do not optimize for exposure at all or the resulting video will flicker. Like yours does. While we are at it: It would be nice to have a way to adjust brightness and saturation for the images at the hugin control points tab. Just to help place cps, nothing else. And It would be even better to have a way to rotate the images on the control points tab. Maybe even have an extra button to take over the rotation from the preview window. Any developer reading this?
