The benefits of VideoStitch are quite vast when you start processing a lots of 
videos.

- The exposure correction with key frames that blend between. that can be 
automated to x frames. This becomes important when the camera is moving and 
different cameras point to the brighter locations over time. Can not lock the 
exposures on GoPro.

-Add your own global exposure and color changes with key frames.

-Synchronization can be a pain when you have 16 cameras recording 360? stereo. 
Being able to view them all in VideoStitch at once helps a lot.

-Stabilization of video to remove micro motion and vibration.

-Add you own yrp correction using key frames.

-Setting start and end cut points to only process the frames needed.

- Live preview of the stitched video, also as interactive. Easy to spot 
stitching errors where subject moves closer to the seam.

Using the GPU to get higher frame processing times per second.
With my 660ti I can get 6k at about 8 to 10 fps, Batching on PTGui I think I am 
just under 2 fps.

VideoStitch can do the alignment but better results are achieved by using PTGui 
or Hugin to create the templates.
