It absolutely can, as long as you're looking for a "snapshot" of the memory, not a fine-tuned editing job. One of the things that muvee doesn't do well is pick out key scenes - let's say there's one exact moment you want to get, like a baptism where the child is dunked under the water. There's no way to tell muvee you want that exact scene, so the only way to get it is to let muvee have at it, and see if that scene gets included. If it doesn't, you can adjust the time up or down by a few seconds, and let muvee try again - it's random, but it usually works.

BUT...if your tape contains a bunch of random scenes, and random memories (ie: kids at park being cute for 20 minutes), muvee will work its magic. 8)
