Autodesk Stitcher issue

I have been using autodesk stitcher and with my rokinon 8 mm lens. When I take 6 around + zenith and nadir I run into real issues getting either the top or bottom to stitch in correctly.
I don't need so much image to fill in the z and n holes. The z and n images tend to screw things up on an otherwise beautiful stitch. Ideas or insight?

I abandoned that stitcher while it was still "Realviz Stitcher". Your software has been abandoned by the very company making it.
Your best move would be to move over to PTgui (ptgui.com) and get good stitches every time.
Faster, better and simpler.

While it's true, Stitcher has long been a second rate product and both PtGui and PtAssembler surpassed it years ago. It may still work for you, but you would be best long term served by downloading a free trial of PTGUI Pro.
But, have you tried using the masking in Stitcher to limit what's used in the Zenith and Nadir shots?
If that's not working you could simply stitch the project without the zenith and nadir and then use any of the equirectangular to cube conversions programs and photoshop the missing pieces in.
And, are you confident about your NPP setting?
What Panoramic head are you using?
Regards,
Robert

To answer your question: you can mask away the parts not needed. If I remember well, it's called the 'stencil' function?
You'll probably only need the center parts of those images, so if you mask away the rest you will not see the stitch errors induced by these images.
