It can if you use a Digital Camera or camcorder video recorder to capture the clips for editing on your MBP. Alternatively, you can record directly with a Mac using OS X and either a built-in camera or a Mac OS X Compatible Webcam.

To record video directly with your Mac, you need a video capable camera, application software that can operate the camera, subjects to record, and a well-lighted scene.

Nothing special is needed. You can record video using OS X Photo Booth, QuickTime Player (version 10 or QTPro version 7), or iMovie.

Dec 31, 2014 2:56 PM in response to ChangeAgentby mns579,Let me echo EZ Jim's opening suggestion to use a standalone digital camera or video recorder (rather than a computer) to capture the event--and then use your Mac to edit the video. Although you can use a Mac and its built-in camera to record interviews, etc., I wouldn't trust that setup to capture something that couldn't be easily repeated if/when there's a computer glitch. The discussion boards have too many stories of people who've lost precious video footage when Photo Booth or QuickTime or iMovie failed. So, although you can capture video with your computer, it really make more sense to film with a device (camera/camcorder) explicitly designed for just that purpose.
