The out point in the edit to tape window is exactly the same as the out point in the timeline in fact i copy and pasted the timecode.

Have you switched to EDIT mode in Edit to Tape and not MASTER mode?

And this is exactly why you’re getting a black frame.
Always make a 3 point edit in Ficnal Cut not 4. In other words, set the in and the out in Edit to tape, and just the in, in the timeline. Or you could set the in and the out in the timeline and just the in, in edit to tape. By giving Final Cut just 3 points of timecode you will no longer see any black frames at the end of your inserts.
