Sometimes LiveCode astounds me...
Using Klause's method, plus Datagrid under the hood (and all its code)
1) the setting to Button icon to the size you want your image cropped, 120X74
2) Place an image off screen at +1000 to the right.
3) At 120x90 call it img "ytBtnIconTemplate"
I was able to fill the DataGrid  with the images *in just SEVEN lines of code* !
on FillInData pDataArray
        put pDataArray["ytThumb"] into tURL
        set the itemdel to "/"; put item -2 of tURL into tImageName
        if exists(img tImageName ) = false then
            clone img "ytBtnIconTemplate" as tImageName
            set the filename of img tImageName to pDataArray["ytThumb"]
        end if
        set the icon of button "ytThumb"of me to (the id img tImageName)
        set the text of field "collectionTitle" of me to pDataArray["collectionTitle"]
end FillInData
