You may alter the background, image size, shadows, title, and much more via the left-hand menu inside the wizard. The small right-hand menu allows you to adjust the contact image's size and placement within the window work tableau.

And, of course, there is the standard Reset button if your creation gets out of hand.

The filtered video list gets saved to your chosen location as a separate .csv file that you can import into Excel or other software.
