For video editing I would never think about an iPad or even a MacBook: I need a bigger screen. Though with external display support, that should now be possible.
I have not been able to get external display to work with external display with DVI port: lots of flickering and screen going dark. I'm getting a DisplayPort adapter today, hoping that will work.
This looks interesting:

At least somebody's trying to deliver some professional video tools on iPad. |
By “writing” I mean entering text. That sucks as the iPad’s virtual keyboards are total garbage to use. If I want to write longer stuff, then I will use a computer.
All the image editing apps like Photoshop and Lightroom are a joke on an iPad. They are way too limited in functionality and über difficult to use.
I agree that video editing needs a computer. For video editing I need a huge amount of storage space and a powerful processor, neither of which my iPad can provide. Plus using iPadOS for that would be insane!
I use a USB-C cable to connect my Samsung S80A 27” 4K monitor to my MacBook Air M1. That works well if you have the proper cable. It also provides plenty of power from the monitor to keep the MacBook Air M1 charged. HDMI and DisplayPort work well too, but require a hub or adapter. DVI is really old tech and I haven’t had anything that uses that in many years. I do have some old DVI cables though because I’m a packrat!
