Yup, you are right ... and the API will surely be beneficial when getting title, description and thumbnail for a Youtube video without having to store it locally. Just one section I would like to comment on, which is more in context with the challenge:

Now the storing of each AtTheBeach.Y/V.vid.link Video link in the Gallery - which stores all the information entered in the form I explained above, is simply displaying the appropriate frame in which the video is served to the visitor. So rather than having to have a text page, you could instead choose the Video Gallery drop-down just as you choose Filemod and Text Page etc.... Clicking on the thumbnail listing will have the Video open up in a floating frame, where the video parameters (________.Y/V.vid.link) are loaded into the YouTube or Vimeo template and initiated.

Yes, one could easily have a "video" display instead of a textpage or filemod etc. The admin could just enter a Youtube video URL, and then it would automatically get thumbnail, title and description. The challenge however, is if you want a full folder/gallery with multiple Youtube videos ... As Imagevue works now, all files are local and the script simply returns a list of files in any given folder. Youtube videos are hosted on Youtube of course, and to have multiple Youtube videos, you would need to store a virtual reference file for each Youtube video. Else how will Imagevue be able to store references to multiple videos in a folder unless they are referenced somehow ... I think Youtube API also allows to get an entire set of videos from a specific user, which might be in handy so that Imagevue would need to store a reference for each video ...
