I'm pretty sure your main problem is that by default Hugin aligns images
based on the assumption that they were taken from a fixed point of view
(not hand held) so only yaw, pitch and roll vary between images.
I find the expert interface much simpler than the "Simple" interface (once
you know the basic work flow). In the photos tab (in expert interface) you
can try to get better alignment using the Optimize / Geometric controls.
"Position" there refers to yaw, pitch and roll. It seems to be a good idea
to calculate first with just that, so subsequent optimize runs are starting
near the answer. But when lens properties and/or hand held causes position
alone to give poor alignment, recalculate with more parameters
("translation" is the name of the parameters that deal with the images
being hand held). If that isn't enough, you need to change some control
points:
1) individual control point might badly fail to align and their
contribution then makes all the other points align a bit worse. So just
deleting them (in the control points tab) then recalculating Optimize /
Geometric may help.
2) If you need translation computed and significant parts of your image are
at different distances from the camera, there is no way for the translation
computation to be correct (no stitching software could get that right
because there is no right). You need to select a single most important
distance and delete control points that are on objects too close or too far
away and add some more at the right distance. In some panoramas that is
enough because there is a single most important distance. Other times, you
then need to fix things for the less important distances. That requires
masking so each important object at other than the select distance is taken
from just one photo, rather than blurred between two photos. Masking lets
the software transition between photos either in areas that already were
not very sharp (sky, very distant trees, etc.) or in areas with perfect
alignment. Remember if you use a tripod and slide if necessary to get
exactly the right axis of rotation, then all distances act the same (zero
translation is correct for everything).
