What codec did you transcode to and do your sequence settings match? Also, you have to be careful when looking at the extracted clips; sometimes Cinema Tools only gets some of it right.

You usually need to export each clip from the A frame of the pulldown sequence. (first of 3 progressive frames, followed by 2 interlace)

I had good luck by always exporting each clip with the same cadence properties.

I am working in AIC everything is correct, cinema tools worked fine,but transitions will not load.
I get an insufficient content for edit warning.

It's probably because you're editing at the beginning of the actual content of a clip, which means there aren't sufficient frames to create a transition. For a 1 second transition, each clip on both sides needs to be trimmed at least 15 frames from the last/first frame of the actual recorded media. ((outgoing/incoming clip)
