Hi Brad,
In most cases PTGui should stitch DJI drone panoramas automatically. You
don't need the lens database for regular use (it is indeed empty by
default btw) and you shouldn't need a template.
Immediately after loading the images, PTGui should show a reasonable
preview with the images already in place.
It sounds like this is not the case for you? Could you make a set of
images available so I can see what's happening?
