Hi Michael, Sorry, I don't check house of fusion often. Based upon what you described, I would say that you can have your users create a profile on your web site. In this profile, you will have a field that would allow users to give you/your company permission to post video on their profiles (instead of granting permission on a per video basis). As long as this field is set to true, you would use XFBML to call fb:serverfbml to upload video clips to the users' profiles.
