Video recording in iOS programmatically
I am trying to implement functionality like below
Final Recorded Video = "Capture a video from front camera + Record an audio from video (which I am playing through video player)".
For more understanding please see the attach screen shot.
Using my blocks of codes which is given below: At the end what I get is A video but without audio.
But what I want to trying to implement is "Final recorded video which must be combination of: 'A video which is captured from my front camera + Record only audio from video file which I am playing.'"
How can I achieve above functionality?
This is my code.
"Recording" Button Click Method is as following:
-(void) startRecording
{
[self initCaptureSession];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle]
pathForResource:@"video"
ofType:@"mp4"]];
[self playMovieAtURL:url];
[self startVideoRecording];
}
"initCaptureSession" : Using this method I am recording a video using front camera using "AVCaptureSession"
-(void) initCaptureSession
{
NSLog(@"Setting up capture session");
captureSession = [[AVCaptureSession alloc] init];
NSLog(@"Adding video input");
AVCaptureDevice *VideoDevice = [self frontFacingCameraIfAvailable];
if (VideoDevice)
{
NSError *error;
videoInputDevice = [AVCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice:VideoDevice error:&error];
if (!error)
{
if ([captureSession canAddInput:videoInputDevice])
{
[captureSession addInput:videoInputDevice];
}
else
{
NSLog(@"Couldn't add video input");
}
}
else
{
NSLog(@"Couldn't create video input");
}
}
else
{
NSLog(@"Couldn't create video capture device");
}
NSLog(@"Adding audio input");
AVCaptureDevice *audioCaptureDevice = [AVCaptureDevice defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeMuxed];
NSError *error = nil;
AVCaptureDeviceInput *audioInput = [AVCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice:audioCaptureDevice error:&error];
if (audioInput)
{
[captureSession addInput:audioInput];
}
NSLog(@"Adding movie file output");
movieFileOutput = [[AVCaptureMovieFileOutput alloc] init];
movieFileOutput.minFreeDiskSpaceLimit = 1024 * 1024; //<<SET MIN FREE SPACE IN BYTES FOR RECORDING TO CONTINUE ON A VOLUME
if ([captureSession canAddOutput:movieFileOutput])
[captureSession addOutput:movieFileOutput];
[self CameraSetOutputProperties]; //(We call a method as it also has to be done after changing camera)
NSLog(@"Setting image quality");
[captureSession setSessionPreset:AVCaptureSessionPresetMedium];
if ([captureSession canSetSessionPreset:AVCaptureSessionPreset640x480]) //Check size based configs are supported before setting them
[captureSession setSessionPreset:AVCaptureSessionPreset640x480];
[captureSession startRunning];
}
- (void) CameraSetOutputProperties
{
AVCaptureConnection *CaptureConnection = nil;
NSComparisonResult order = [[UIDevice currentDevice].systemVersion compare: @"5.0.0" options: NSNumericSearch];
if (order == NSOrderedSame || order == NSOrderedDescending) {
// OS version >= 5.0.0
CaptureConnection = [movieFileOutput connectionWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];
} else {
// OS version < 5.0.0
CaptureConnection = [self connectionWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo fromConnections:[movieFileOutput connections]];
}
//Set landscape (if required)
if ([CaptureConnection isVideoOrientationSupported])
{
AVCaptureVideoOrientation orientation = AVCaptureVideoOrientationPortrait;// AVCaptureVideoOrientationLandscapeRight; //<<<<<SET VIDEO ORIENTATION IF LANDSCAPE
[CaptureConnection setVideoOrientation:orientation];
}
}
"-(void) playMovieAtURL: (NSURL*) theURL " By using this method I am playing a video
