This weekend I did some interior photography for a client and he requested I make qvtr's of the interiors, along with normal shots.

I had no problem stitching the images together in PTGui but when I view the movies, they have these awful black curves at the top and bottom of the image.

Can anyone suggest what is wrong and what I can do to rectify this problem?

Thanks
Chris

Chris,

it looks like you forget to shoot the zenith and nadir picts...

Assuming that you can't take the zenith and nadir pics can you photoshop that area? (easy if you have a bland carpet and blank ceiling). If not then you could remake the .mov with limited tilt so that those areas can't be seen.

Unfortunately I didn't take the zenith points. I literally shot a horizontal panorama using a fisheye lens (in portrait format). Is there anything I can do to compensate for the black spots?

Did you miss my post?

Sorry Mike, I misread your post earlier. Limiting the tilt would be the perfect solution but how do I do that in PTGui?

Thanks
Chris

I don't have it loaded on any machine with me now. My recollection is that there's a small table the allows you to limit the tilt etc and a few other parameters in the window that you create the .mov file from.

A lot of people add their own logo at the nadir point and just photoshop the top as long it's a blank area. Check out this site.
