Download Microsoft ICE. It is free and is excellent.

Thanks. I will try it now.

Ray101 · Jan 17, 2018

Its works great!!!!!!!

PTGui is better as Microsoft ICE will sometimes induce ghosting.

Ray101 · Jan 18, 2018

Is it free by any chance?

BD0G · Jan 18, 2018

Yes , its actually called PTGui. I listed it as PYGui intially , but changed that.

It can be found here

From what I've always seen, and still see, it's hardly free at over $125...unless I'm missing something...

I think @BD0G meant the trial version

Yeah ICE is definitely the way to go if you are looking for a workable cost effective (free) solution.
Also OP, whilst Litchi is good for Pano's the DJIGo4 inbuilt Pano tool is simpler to use and works well.

I did this one this one just now from a DJIGo4 Pano set. Ran through ICE which took less than 5 minutes. Added the blue border at the top to make it 2:1 using Photohop and posted it to Skypixel. Prettty simple.

Yea ICE is definitely much easier to use. That looks great. How did u take the pano on the dji go app? Is there a button like in litchi or did u do it manually?
Cheers

Yeah as per the instructions in the video, although it seemingly makes it all seem long winded and complex.

All I do it fly to 300' at the spot I want to take the 360. Toggle the camera to manual. Set the Shutter Speed to something appropriate. I shoot JPGs, so I also check white balance is set right. Then toggle the camera shooting mode to pano 360 and press the button.

Not fussed about the DJIGo4 built version of the PANO. I just grab the images of the card and whack em through the ICE process described above.

I am just migrating my library from Skypixel to Kuula as I prefer the way it allows me to display and distribute the images.

LItchi works really well to shoot panos. It also works nicely with Crystalsky now. ICE really is easy to use also. I have PTGui as wekk and have not compared them. But having read this thread I wanted to try ICE. Here is a pano I shot today in Baltimore. It was a spectacularly clear day. ICE did a good job. I had to work on it a bit in Photoshop but that's always required, especially to fix the straight up sky. My straight-up isn't perfect but it's OK.
