Stitching Panos with Capture One (and shooting them)

- Capture One introduced their panoramic stitching feature with Capture One 22, and it's only gotten better with each iteration since (we're now on C1 23). A number of photographers I work with continue to use Adobe's merge to panoramic, but I increasingly find that the Capture option is equal, and keeps everything within the C1 workflow.
In the film I go through both how to capture a panoramic successfully, and then how to stitch the files together in Capture One. Use the timeline chapters to jump to the editing if you already know about how to capture the images in the first place.
Observant viewers might notice some discrepancy between the video and the stills...yup...first go had some filming issues, so I had to do a repeat visit to Monteseel.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks Michael!
Another excellent video! Thanks !
Thanks Michel. Glad you are enjoying them!
Very helpful, thank- you.
It’s a pleasure.
Another fine guide! Thank you ever so much, Emil!
Once more, thank you Martin! It's great to see photographers coming back to the channel
Thanks for that
It's a pleasure!
Excellent tutorial!
Myllo!!! Thanks man...you and I need to do a film at some stage....maybe I can do a feature on you!
Greetings from BC, Canada. Very thorough guide and well presented, you deserve a lot more subscribers! I am, though, curious as to how you feel that C-1 has improved the panoramic feature since it was brought out. I was under the impression that nothing has been done to improve it since it was implemented in C1 V22 and indeed haven't really noticed any difference in using it personally. C-1 seems to be starting to steer towards the portrait and wedding photographers in terms of features in the last couple of years. Capture One user since V-7 here.
Hi Barry! Canada, one of the best countries I have ever visited. I started using the pano feature the moment C1 introduced it...and it was terrible. horizon lines often had errors, roads (as seen from a drone) would have all sorts of errors...particularly with vehicles and road markings. Perspective hardly ever worked either except with long lens shots and when using shift lenses. Seemingly none of the controls have changed from introduction, but each time I updated I would 'test' out the pano feature and it slowly got better with fewer errors. So I think that all the changes and tweaking have been 'under the hood' so to speak. I still think that the Adobe stitching engine is faster and if you want to do 3D work you need something more like PTGui, but C1's stitching has gotten to the point that I use it first.
In terms of where C1 steers, I actually think they have always had a preference towards wedding and portraiture. It takes knowing the programme to be able to use it for other genres effectively. Maybe as the user base grows that'll change, but PhaseOne certainly aren't helping shift the user base upwards that in the way that they price C1Pro.
No nodal point adjustment ????
Hi Rene. I find for the vast majority of landscape images it isn’t necessary beyond getting the sensor rotating on a point… HOWEVER, and this is a big but, if you are shooting architecture up close, then nodal point adjustment is essential. I’m thinking of doing a video on this in future showing the simplest way to get nodal point accuracy.
