Hi @recoildesign
Could you please tell me what kind of things you are trying to do? If you only need to post the link from the front end, then acf_form() would be the best way to do it.
But if you need to get the data of the video, such as the description, then you need to use YouTube API too.
If you want, you can always try ACF free version first. You can download it here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/.
I hope this helps 🙂
