I created a video in iMovie and exported it to my external flash drive. When I play the video back from the flash drive, the video feed goes black mid way through but audio continues to play. How can I fix this?

You won't be able to fix the problem in the exported video, as that is cast in stone.
Go back to your project and use the slider located above and to the right of the timeline to expand it full out. Then scroll though your project timeline in the area where your videos turned black. Look for black frames, white flashes, artifacts and any other signs of corruption. Cut out any that you find and re-export. See if that solves it.
If you want to preserve your original project, you might want to make a duplicate of your original project and work with the duplicate.
