Not an intuitive program. Confusing layout. If you're used to simply selecting the number of rows/columns this will you have stumped for awhile. If you created a thumbnail file and you're not satisfied and create another one, the program will fail to process because of the duplicate filename; there's no setting to automatically overwrite the file or prompt you to overwrite so it just does nothing. You have to manually delete the previous thumbnail before it will work. I kept trying to redo the thumbnail and it kept failing and drove me crazy.
It has a decent amount of customization and it looks like you can do batch thumbnails but I find the program annoying to use.

This program is the best GUI I've found for Windows video thumbnail generation but I ran into a problem trying to generate contact sheets for AV1 encoded Youtube videos. I've included a solution below for those who also encounter this problem.
For those using this program who want AV1 video thumbnails, the problem is caused by an outdated MPlayer version which handles the frame extraction using FFmpeg. Therefore it is necessary to replace MPlayer with an updated version. To accomplish this, download MPlayer 1.5 (which is compiled with FFmpeg 5.0) from a trusted source like videohelp. Extract the download and rename MPlayer.exe to AMT-MPlayer.exe. Next open AMT and go to settings->locate executables to find the path where AMT stores its copy of MPlayer. Replace that version with the new MPlayer 1.5 and Voila, AV1 support!

This program does exactly what it is supposed to do, no fuss or fooling around. If you are looking for some exotic program that does this or that, move on. You point this program to the folder where the movies(s) reside, let it do it's thing and before you know it you have a set of thumbnails from your video bearing the same name as the video file. How simple can that be?

Tried this after using a number of similar software packages and found this to be the most comprehensive, responsive and overall least limiting of them. Great freeware, easily outdoes paid software alternatives.
