Embedding vs. Importing a YouTube Video
ImportingImporting a video from YouTube will allow a full range of features including editing the video. Importing makes a copy of the video in your Media Library and is no longer tied to YouTube. If the owner removes the video in YouTube, it will not affect your video in YuJa. This is the preferred option for YouTube videos.
