How do I see if my GPUImage Video was recorded in iOS?

I followed this guide on how to record video using the GPUStillImage library:

http://www.cocoanetics.com/2014/06/object-overlay-on-video/

However my implementation is different since I'm using the GPUImageVideoCamera to record video and and using GPUImageMovieWriter to write it. Unfortunately unlike the demo project in the tutorial, the setCompletion block is not firing and it doesn't save the file into my albums. How do I know if it worked successfully? Is there a way to open up the directory on my iPhone to see that the movie was successfully recorded? Thanks!

Solution

  • I decided to just do this instead

    [self.movieWriter finishRecording];
UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum([NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents/Movie.m4v"] , nil, nil, nil);

    And like magic it appeared in my Photo Album. For whatever reason, the setCompletion block never fired but I guess you don't need to rely on it.
