Have a try with iMovie - it's a really good program to get you started. There's loads of tutorials on the Apple site.

I still use iMovie for many small projects when Premier Pro could be viewed as 'hammer to crack a nut'

Check that it's not already installed on your machine (use spotlight search for iMovie) if not, it's on the Apple site (http://www.apple.com/mac/imovie/)

Lightworks is worth a look. It's a proper nonlinear editor.

iMovie comes pre-installed on all new Macs, so there should be no need to buy it. The link below explains how it all works. If you paid for iMovie on a newish Mac, then you should contact Apple Support and request a refund.
