hello,

i'd like to create an embedded video (youtube video) gallery. i found a posting here that implied using the views module could be simple. for the life of me i can't figure out how to use the module to help me create a gallery. step by step help would be great! any help would be REALLY appreciated. good karma your way.

thanks,

ephman

Here's how i would do it:
Create a custom content type with an Embedded Media Field for Youtube-videos and one Imagefield for a preview picture. Then create a view (Administer>Site Building>Views>Add) that provides a page. As fields i'd choose the Node title and the Imagefield and as filters node:published, node-type=the custom content type.
This would list all the nodes of this particular content type with a preview image. You might want to install the Views Bonuspack for more possibilites to display the nodes in the view.

I'd also recommend to read the Views documentation: http://drupal.org/node/54432
