My default Cinema Studio starting settings for a filmic look

I almost never generate on stock defaults anymore. My baseline: slightly longer lens for compression, a touch of grain, motion kept deliberate and slow, and contrast pulled back so I have room to grade later. Flat-ish in, graded out beats baked-in contrast every time. Drop your default recipe below — I want to steal some.
