Comment (by nilovelez):

 Right now the process is quite... sketchy.
 - A contributor uploads the video file via custom form that uses Ajax to
 send the data
 - and action in wp-ajax creates a post draft, with form fields added as
 hidden postmeta
 - The video is copied to the media gallery, VideoPress processes it and it
 is inserted as a shortcode into the post's content
 - A moderator edits the draft. There's a metabox that shows all the hidden
 custom fields in a form.
 - Each field as an "accept" button that copies the data to the
 corresponding metabok (wikes!)
 - The moderator picks the thumbnail and publishes the posts.

 In the next version, all metadata will be added directly to its
 corresponding metabox, and the video as a videopress block.

 Right now I am cleaning dependencies from the theme (everything is
 hardcoded) and moving it to a plugin. Once everything is tested it would
 be much faster to move forward.

 Mi priority right now is to patch the video thumbnails selector so I can
 be working on the new version without that added pressure
