Copy panorama process

Hello everyone, I would like to know if you know a way to copy the process of creating a panorama in Lightroom, so as to have multiple identical panoramas. Let me explain, I have several shots of the same landscape, all the identical but taken at three different times that I would like to combine to have three equal panoramas of the same landscape but at different times. The problem is that Lightroom, despite the shots being exactly identical, always merges them in different ways... Do you know a way to copy the merging process or in any case a way to have the same results with multiple panoramas? Thank you all

Thank you to everyone for their responses, unfortunately I had imagined there was nothing to do with Lightroom, even though it's a shame because otherwise I find the landscape function to be very effective 😞

I tried ptgui and fortunately it does what I need, even though the combination of the various shots seems much less effective to me than on Lightroom, at least apparently... Thank you all again for your responses

You might try PTGui which is a specialized panorama app that comes up a lot. I haven’t used it, so I don’t know if it will do exactly what you want. But it apparently provides more options and more manual control.

If you want them to be completely identical in where each element is, you need to use a different piece of software. Hugin is what I would normally use as Photoshop can't automatically do this either if there is significantly different projection distortion but Hugin would work by creating alignment points for the different layers of a pano you would create from the source files aligning certain features between the different panos. but unfortunately the mac version hasn't been maintained since 2019 and no longer works correctly. The windows and linux versions are fine though. There are probably other pano solutions that can do this too.

There is no way to do that except using Photoshop and doing the merge completely manually yourself.
