So I am experimenting with my new Mini 5 Pro automated panoramas. Normally, I simply do a 3-5 manual shoot and stitch in Photoshop Merge to Panorama. I tried the 11 shot and 21 frames shot but I go no automated stitching in the DCIM files. I cannot seen to figure out how to merge these multi image panos. Does anybody have a good Your Tube for me to watch or a quick tutorial. I prefer Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom rather than other commercial programs.

tell me more about the 11 and 21 shot panos. I have a Mini 5 Pro but I mostly use it as reconnaissance for my Mav4 Pro and don't do a lot of Pano's. Is the actually a setting that says 11 or 21? I need to fire it up and check this out....the manual doesn't even use the word panorama... I see there is no "11 or 21" setting per se and wonder how/why you would ever end up with that number of frames. Using the "free" pano setting? Otherwise I would expect, as I always do, that if you are shooting a pano manually, shooting a frame, moving ⅔ to the right or left, shooting another and continuing, and if desired, moving up or down ⅔ of a frame repeating below and maybe even above. You always end up with some form of a rectangular form and Lightroom will always be able to merge to a panorama. When shooting AEB it requires 5AEB for some reason. I don't understand the 11 or 21 issue....

Thanks for responding. I just shot this for you.
Here are my steps
1. from menu- still images
2. select Pano
3. select 180- hit start. Drone shoots 21 images (JPG)
4. DCIM shows 21 JPG images. Not auto assembled from the drone. I have 21 images to create the pano. How dod I do this?

I called Adobe-too they said, in Photoshop "File>Photomerge>Auto

Hope you can help.

My Mavic 4 Pro does the pano merging itself; it also gives you the individual files along with the merge. I’ve tried manually merging the originals in Lightroom, but the Mavic seems to do it better, or I don’t know what I’m doing (quite possible).
 
In your root folder, not the Panorama folder, see if there isn't a pano there. It would be a higher MB count and of course the thumbnail would reflect it. I'd guess you have done that buy I think all my drones will create such panos - but I'm not entirely sure.
