Been trying to import spreadsheet data into MC 8.0 myself, and this thread keeps coming up when searching for ALE. It’s crazy that Avid doesn’t ship ALE any more, when I called tech support and asked them about it (after a lot of hold time), they finally advised me to download MC 7.0.4 and get ALE from that. I’ve posted it if anyone else is searching for it, hope forum rules allow for this.
This is the Mac version:

It’s funny, I came across this post because we have been having a very similar problem since we upgraded to fcp7. We make these 1:00 spots where the footage is shot XDCAM 24p, ultimately converting it to SD 29.97 and mixing it with various SD graphics, film clips, etc.
In fcp 6 we would make an XDCAM 24p seq, edit in that (so no rendering) and then when done, we’d copy and paste into a 29.97 sequence. (This is only to then set graphics and make approval QTs; for the final 24 to 29.97 we run the footage through a Terranex or something) In fcp6 this copy and paste presented no problem. A few flash frames, as the op mentioned…
But now in 7 it seems the way fcp makes the conversion is completely different. It drops some shots altogether, moves video and audio all over the map…
We managed to find a workaround by exporting an xml of the fcp7 HD sequence, importing into a machine we have that’s running fcp6, doing the copy & paste there, and then reopening that into 7.
It’s a pretty specific scenario, so I haven’t really found much else online about this problem…for us, it’s actually making it worth keeping one machine on fcp6…
