Is it possible to put a completed movie on an I-Pad for viewing on it? Also, is it possible to copy it to a USB Flash drive for viewing from it on another computer?

Sure. I don't have an iPad so am not sure exactly which is the preferred format for that, but suspect it will be mp4. That's what both my Acer Android tablet and Samsung smartphone prefer. You might need to play around with bitrates, because some tablets don't have as powerful processors as others and might need the bitrate to be a bit lower. In VS X7, you go to Share then to the immediate right of the preview screen there is a row of icons. The second from the top looks like a vertical tablet or smartphone with a camera on top. Click that and you will see output templates for a variety of devices.

As for transferring a completed video to another computer using a USB stick drive, again -- yes. The only limitation is that the size of the video cannot of course be larger than the size of the stick drive. The video on a stick drive can also be plugged directly into many modern HDTVs and play directly on the TV, as long as you have the format of the video compatible with what the TV can play (again often mp4). Or else plug the stick drive into a Blu-Ray player if the video is high def or DVD player if standard def and play them on your TV using either of those devices if the TV can't play direct from the stick drive. External USB hard drives act the same way in all these cases too.
