There are various requisite Terms of Service documents that you'd
want to read through before attempting to launch anything:
http://www.youtube.com/t/terms
https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms
https://developers.google.com/youtube/creating_monetizable_applications
I'm not making a judgment one way or another about how your proposal
adheres to those terms. I just want to make sure you're aware of them.
In general, you can upload videos via the YouTube API in an automated
fashion. There's nothing in the YouTube API that would allow you to
expose the underlying videos to be edited, but there are standard
editing tools in the YouTube.com web interface that would allow end
users to edit their own videos.
Cheers,
