You need to open iMovie, or if that doesn't work, maybe iDVD. They're the Mac programs which interface with cameras. I haven't used either for years, so I can't give you concise steps, but once you're in the program, there will be editing, and import modes. You want to find the option to import footage from your camera. Once you've imported it, you'll have to figure the program out yourself to edit it (there are probably plenty of mac-made tutorials), and when it's edited, you'll have to save it, and pick a format to save it as. In terms of formats, check with youtube to see what formats, and bitrates are acceptable for uploads, and follow their guidelines.
