    Trying an experiment for giggles. I tried to make a pano using 7000+ images in photoshop, but it seemed to crap out around 100 at a time, so that's a no go time wise. Does anyone know of dedicated software that can handle large amounts of image files for a pano stitch? Is there anything out there dedicated to making panos from timelapse photography?

    I have no idea if it will handle that many files, but I use PTGui for my panos. I think you can get a trial.

    You got me. I have to ask -what's the Pano of that's going to use 7000 images? One of those Gigapixel landscapes? How did you take all the shots?

    Motionlapse sequence into individual frames.

    To cover a 270°~360° Panorama, normally I would need a few shots from ultrawide to wide, <10 for standard 50mm to short tele, might be 10+ for short to around 150mm... it is for one single row stitching.

    Do your really need 7000 shots for a meaningful result?

    How did you pan the camera over 7000 frames? Just curious.

    Nope, but the point is to see what weirdness happens from trying to run a 7000+ image pano with all the people and motion.

    Glad to keep you testing how many lives you got left kitty ;) .

    I got there by cheating at it, lol. I'm doing it from files from a feiyutech pocket 2 motionlapse. I forget the frame rate, but I set the camera to take 1 photo every minute, run that pano to take a few hours (I think 2 hours), and next thing I know, image sequence to images is putting out 7000+ png files.

    This is a total experiment. I am not expecting good results, I am simply looking to see what the results will be. I made a "broken" pano from like a dozen images and I've been fascinated in trying to make something like that again. This was an accidental way to try and do that again in a much more absurd and possibly more intriguing way. I could do it off far fewer frames, but as an artist, I am just so curious to know what trying to jam so much in will do.

    I'm probably going to try something like this again, but fewer frames and hopefully higher quality with a Osmo Pocket shooting RAW images.
