The video tutorial explains how to parameterize a circle of radius six with a center at (4, 5, 3) in a plane parallel to the XY plane. It details the constant Z-component and derives the parametric equations for the circle's XY trace. The final parameterization in space is given as x = 4 + 6 cos(t), y = 5 + 6 sin(t), and z = 3.
