MOV-SFK Files
I created a video using a Flash Card in my Canon EOS SLR 1D Mark IV. If I import the MOV file into Sony Vegas 8, I get audio but the video is more like a slide show.
Is there a more effective way to import these files (mov-sfk) from a flash card to Sony Vegas Movie Maker or am I missing a process? -

Those files are very resource-hungry and a fast computer in conjunction with an intermediate such as Neoscene are the only solutions.

So I have to have this Neoscene product to convert the files to something useable with Sony Vegas Movie Maker?

It’s highly recommended as the preferred method of dealing with these files.
Some points of clarification needed first please.
You’ve said Sony Vegas 8 and Sony Vegas Movie Maker.
Movie Maker generally means Windows Movie Maker.
Is it Vegas 8 Vegas Pro 8 or one of the Movie Studio versions?
How powerful is your computer (i.e. what CPU)?
What OS are you running?
How much RAM and how many hard drives do you have? -
I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8.0 along with Sony DVD Architect Studio 4.5d. I have a partitioned hard drive, I am using a Sony Vaio with a Pentium processor, 3.06 mHz, 1 gig of RAM. I am also using Windows XP Home Edition as an OS.
At the same time I am talking with Canon to see if this camera is capable of recording in a more user-friendly format. It will record a full HD at 30fps.
I think I covered your questions but if not please let me know.
Thank you for the help.

I’m not famililar with the camera you are using, but I’ve used the free program MPEG Streamclip (https://www.squared5.com/). Usually I use it convert any video file not completely compatible with Vegas to something like avi (which I understand, is a larger file) which Vegas seems to handle just fine.
I’m not saying this is the most efficient method to use however I’ve found it to be fairly quick and dirty.
Hope I helped, if not maybe next time!
