You will have to implement to become the delegate of the UIImagePickerController object and implement imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: like this –

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
    // This is the URL where the movie is stored (in the tmp directory)
    NSURL *movieURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];

    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *filePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"movie.mov"]; // You will have to vary this.
    NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:filePath];

    NSError *error;
    if ( [[NSFileManager defaultManager] moveItemAtURL:movieURL toURL:fileURL error:&error] ) {    
        NSLog(@"Error copying: %@", [error localizedDescription]);
    }

    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
