I've seen both.

I know Sponsored Video is like Adwords for video.

So what is Promoted Video? Are these paid ads too?

No it's not

I asked about the difference between Promoted Video and Sponsored video (not Featured video).

Read the post again.

Sponsored videos are paid. Promoted aren't.

YouTube Glossary: YouTube Promoted Videos

YouTube Promoted Videos is an online advertising program that allows YouTube users, partners, and advertisers to promote their YouTube video content on the YouTube website.
This service is offered in combination with the Google AdWords program through the Promoted Videos website at: http://ads.youtube.com. Whenever one of these videos appears on the site, you will see it clearly marked as a "Promoted Video" to indicate that it is an advertisement.

Actually found the answer myself.

"Sponsored Videos" is the old terminology.
It was simply renamed to "Promoted Videos" in Mar 2009.

* Promoted Videos: Our search advertising program is about helping anyone promote their videos to a larger audience on YouTube (right now this is only available in the U.S.). Whether you're a start-up band trying to break out with a new single, or an advertiser showing off how to use your cool new product, this program is a great way for you to promote and drive traffic to your content. We think "Promoted Videos" more accurately describes this program than "Sponsored Videos," the original name.
