1What this means for the scene

Where a policy names weapons it is usually about trade, promotion or advertising, not about a gun held by a character. Only one definition in the file, Midjourney's gore list, mentions images of shooting someone. A villain holding a pistol is therefore named by fewer texts than a shooting is.

4What one generator puts on screen

Policy wording in “Can a gun appear in an AI video scene” meets production here; SceneMixer's pages describe its side like this:

Character sheets are always portrait and scene images always widescreen, whatever ratio the videos use.

SceneMixer, Vertical 9:16 or Landscape 16:9 — “Will choosing 9:16 make my character images vertical?” (read 2026-10-13)

SceneMixer generates each character once as a full-body reference sheet — 9:16, plain background, directional key light, identity features written before any technical instruction — and then attaches crops of that sheet to every shot the character appears in.
