Any USB Video Class (UVC) camera should work in Debut. Mac OS X has had native support for UVC devices since version 10.4.3. If a camera works in PhotoBooth, iChat or FaceTime out of the box, then it is most likely UVC compliant. Most new USB cameras are UVC devices.
Non-UVC Cameras

Debut is able to support some non-UVC cameras using an open-source driver named macam. A list of cameras supported by macam is available at http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/index.php.
To use a non-UVC camera in Debut:
Download the latest macam disk image from http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/downloads.html.
Double click the dmg file (e.g., macam.0.9.2.dmg) to see the contents in Finder.
Launch Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities) and run the following command:
Enter the administrator password when prompted.
Quit Debut if it's already running.
Connect the camera, launch Debut and press the Device toolbar button. The non-UVC camera should be automatically used if there are no other connected devices. Otherwise, it can be selected in Preferences -> Devices.

Video Capture Devices
Some USB video capture devices, such as the SIIG USB Video/Audio Capture Device (http://www.altoedge.com/video/siig-video-capture2.html), can be used in Debut. Third-party software is usually needed to make them work. For example, VideoGlide (http://www.echofx.com/videoglide.html).
Please see Using the SIIG USB Video Capture Device for details.
FireWire Cameras
Cameras with a FireWire interface, such as DV cameras or Apple's iSight, can work in Debut. If a Firewire connected camera works in Photobooth, iChat or FaceTime then it should work in Debut just like a regular built-in or USB camera.

Thankfully, as I found out today, you can plug your FireWire cable into a ‘FireWire to thunderbolt’ adapter and then you can plug this adapter into a ‘Thunderbolt to USB- C’ adapter. IT looks a mess but it works.
It may not be pretty, but the signal gets through. My computer was able to control the video camera and the video was able to import into QuickTime.
