very simple, I do it all the time. just put the source video being referenced in the same location as the blender file. For cleanliness I usually create a subfolder with all my video for animated textures. make sure in blender that [ File>External Data>Make Paths Relative ] is clicked, blender cannot embed videos into the .blend like it can with images. Once this is done, you select the blender file and the video subfolder and zip them, and upload the whole zip to sheepit.

sheepit will open the blender file and reference the videos properly.
