Mr./Ms. Developer, in case you hadn't noticed, people are getting pretty peeved about applications that constantly send our information to third party corporations (or worse) over the net without our knowledge or approval. So your app should not be coded to call out all over the internet before it even knows whether it's necessary. It should first check my YouTube preferences in ClipStart to see if I want it to upload videos there before trying to send my info to the company (and probably the other 3 video services it can upload to)! I mean, why did you even include individual preferences for each video service if you coded the app to ignore them and call those companies first and THEN check the prefs?
I guess ClipStart is the wrong app for me anyway. I was considering it simply to organize my home videos because its advertising claimed it would "complement your photo application to give you a place that is designed for home movies." But it seems our culture's rampant exhibitionism won out during the coding process, because its YouTube uploading capability dominates the app, not its home video management features. Of course, due to its constant crashing, pointless callouts, and mislabeled role, I have abandoned it.

As for calling YouTube to get the categories, you're absolutely right that it shouldn't need to do that on every launch. I'll make a change for the next version to grab them once and then store them locally so it doesn't need to fetch them again. However, as far as privacy is concerned, no personal information is sent until you upload a video, and then only the bare minimum to authenticate your account with YouTube, Flickr, or whatever the service is, and no data is ever sent back to my servers related to any accounts.
I hope this helps. Thanks for the feedback and let me know if you have any other questions. (Email is best if you need a quick answer, unless it's a comment that's useful to other customers.)

Also, I wish it did video conversions. You don't even have to add much code, just hook it into the QuickTime encoding framework. That would make it really useful and worth paying for. Right now it's just a nice way of organizing my disparately-filed home movies (or it would be if it didn't constantly crash), but it's not special enough to pay for -- especially at $29! And it has no preferences for customizing anything, except for account info for uploading to Flickr, etc. I have over 400 short videos I took of my children with 5 different digital cameras (not camcorders), and we love to watch them frequently. But even that's not enough to convince me to shell out 30 bills just to herd them all into one app. But make that app capable of manipulating those clips and I'll gladly fork over $30, but no more than that.
Nice, but not quite ready for prime time.
