I don't know about videos (I am an old-fashioned text guy), but you'll
find explanations about the Expert Mode here:
https://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Panorama_Editor_window
If you stick to handheld shooting, I guess you will have to learn how to
use the Advanced / Expert mode.
My first suyggestion is to copy the .pto file Hugin generated when it
created the panorama. This .pto file contains all the settings which
Hugin used to create the panorama. Copy it under a new name and then use
the copy, so that you will always have the original if your
modifications get worse results.
Switch to Advanced or Expert mode and you will see several tabs appear
which will show you some of the steps of what Hugin did under the
scenes, and will also allow you to correct things when Hugin's automatic
choices were wrong.
Look at everything, read the docs and see if you begin to understand how
all this works.
There are also a few tricks I could tell you about shooting, but this
will be for another mail because I don't have the time right now.
And don't worry if I am long in answering, I am frequently busy
elsewhere 🙂 But other users will probably answer your questions too.

Thank you Davi, i don't know yet how to set horizontal line, i know
how to add control point manually. before to bore you with silly
questions, can i ask if there is one or more video explaining Hugin
advanced mode? if any of you would like to teach me, we can deal for a
price and a lesson based on the procedure to obtain something better
than what i did. a kind of pratical recorded video while merging my
pictures. i would like to learn to make there shots without tripod
even because i m a hobbist so it's difficult for me to bring tripod
everytime expecially when i travel with low cost company :-D any help
is appreciated

Hello Ninni,
First of all, I never use a tripod, not because I think it would
be a bad idea, but because I don't want to carry a tripod everywhere.
Because I don't use a tripod, I need to make quite a few
adjustments in order to get good results. To do this, I suggest
you switch Hugin to the Expert Interface.

Yes, this is a good idea. In a similar situation, I examine each
image to see if it is duplicated and out of focus, and if so, I
eliminate it (or at least I tell Hugin not to include it in the
final image).
i had no tripod so even if i tried to stay in the same position
of course while rotating i was not perfectly geometrically held
in that position.
Examining your resulting image, I would add a horizontal line on
the sea horizon. If the railing bars are indeed vertical, I would
set a few vertical bars on them as well as on the pillar on the right.
You should check that Hugin did not put control points in places
where it can not work. For example, clouds, or waves in the sea.
But also on the railing: since you shoot handheld, there are bound
to be parallax errors between close and remote items. I guess you
are more interested in the landscape than on the railing, so I
suggest you remove any control point on the railing. What to do
with the pillar is more tricky. You could also check the control
points distance (press F3 to get the list) and check if control
points with a great distance are correctly set.
