You need to export it before you can upload it, Youtube wont take an imovie project.

Good luck.

I'm pretty sure that You tube has a max of around 10MB. Exporting will get it well under that amount.

No youtube has the max of 100mb

YouTube's recommendations:

MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format
320x240 resolution
MP3 audio
30 frames per second

To achieve these settings, open your iMovie project. Go to file > export. Then select "quick time" and expert settings. Then you can change the settings to the ones listed above.
