For a delivery question like “Progressive scan”, SceneMixer states the following about what it produces:
16:9 landscape (SceneMixer's default) and 9:16 vertical (the usual short-drama frame), chosen per project.

Every segment starts with a short header that sets the stage before the first shot: Location (a scene chip), Time, Weather, the Opening frame (what the first frame shows), Set dressing (what is in the room, and any background people) and Props (the objects the segment uses).
