I am trying to merge two videos together in AVFoundation.
I am using AVMutableComposition and I add both tracks to the composition, resulting in a final video where I have the first video with its audio, and after that the 2nd audio but no video.
How can I get the audio and video of both tracks?
Thank you
let composition = AVMutableComposition()
let audioTrack: AVMutableCompositionTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaType.audio, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid)!
let videoTrack: AVMutableCompositionTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaType.video, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid)!
let audioTrack2: AVMutableCompositionTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaType.audio, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid)!
let videoTrack2: AVMutableCompositionTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaType.video, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid)!
var outputURL = documentDirectory.appendingPathComponent("output-temp")
do {
try! audioTrack.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeFromTimeToTime(start: startTime, end: endTime), of: asset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaType.audio)[0], at: CMTime.zero)
try! videoTrack.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeFromTimeToTime(start: startTime, end: endTime), of: asset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaType.video)[0], at: CMTime.zero)
try! audioTrack2.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeFromTimeToTime(start: startTime, end: asset2.duration), of: asset2.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaType.audio)[0], at: CMTime.invalid)
try! videoTrack2.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeFromTimeToTime(start: startTime, end: asset2.duration), of: asset2.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaType.video)[0], at: CMTime.invalid)
try manager.createDirectory(at: outputURL, withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil)
let id = "id-\(Int.random(in: 0...199))"
let mediaType = "mp4"
outputURL = outputURL.appendingPathComponent("preVideo-\(id).\(mediaType)")
} catch let error {
print(error)
}
The problem is that you are adding a second video track to the composition. You need to insert both videos into the same video track. Just delete your let videoTrack2 and go from there.
I am working on Video based Application in Swift. As per the requirement I have to select multiple Videos from Device Gallery, setting up different different CIFilter effects and Volume for each Video Asset and then merge all the Videos and have to Save the Final Video. As an output, when I will play the Final Video then Video sound volume should change accordingly.
I have already merged all the selected Video Assets into one with different different CIFilter effects but my problem is when I am trying to set Volume for each Video Clips then it's not working. I am getting the default Volume for my Final Video. Here is my code:
func addFilerEffectAndVolumeToIndividualVideoClip(_ assetURL: URL, video: VideoFileModel, completion : ((_ session: AVAssetExportSession?, _ outputURL : URL?) -> ())?){
let videoFilteredAsset = AVAsset(url: assetURL)
print(videoFilteredAsset)
createVideoComposition(myAsset: videoFilteredAsset, videos: video)
let documentDirectory = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0]
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: documentDirectory).appendingPathComponent("\(video.fileID)_\("FilterVideo").mov")
let filePath = url.path
let fileManager = FileManager.default
do {
if fileManager.fileExists(atPath: filePath) {
print("FILE AVAILABLE")
try fileManager.removeItem(atPath:filePath)
} else {
print("FILE NOT AVAILABLE")
}
} catch _ {
}
let composition: AVMutableComposition = AVMutableComposition()
let compositionVideo: AVMutableCompositionTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo, preferredTrackID: CMPersistentTrackID())
let compositionAudioVideo: AVMutableCompositionTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeAudio, preferredTrackID: CMPersistentTrackID())
//Add video to the final record
do {
try compositionVideo.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, videoFilteredAsset.duration), of: videoFilteredAsset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo)[0], at: kCMTimeZero)
} catch _ {
}
//Extract audio from the video and the music
let audioMix: AVMutableAudioMix = AVMutableAudioMix()
var audioMixParam: [AVMutableAudioMixInputParameters] = []
let assetVideoTrack: AVAssetTrack = videoFilteredAsset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeAudio)[0]
let videoParam: AVMutableAudioMixInputParameters = AVMutableAudioMixInputParameters(track: assetVideoTrack)
videoParam.trackID = compositionAudioVideo.trackID
//Set final volume of the audio record and the music
videoParam.setVolume(video.videoClipVolume, at: kCMTimeZero)
//Add setting
audioMixParam.append(videoParam)
//Add audio on final record
do {
try compositionAudioVideo.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, videoFilteredAsset.duration), of: assetVideoTrack, at: kCMTimeZero)
} catch _ {
assertionFailure()
}
//Fading volume out for background music
let durationInSeconds = CMTimeGetSeconds(videoFilteredAsset.duration)
let firstSecond = CMTimeRangeMake(CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(0, 1), CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(1, 1))
let lastSecond = CMTimeRangeMake(CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(durationInSeconds-1, 1), CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(1, 1))
videoParam.setVolumeRamp(fromStartVolume: 0, toEndVolume: video.videoClipVolume, timeRange: firstSecond)
videoParam.setVolumeRamp(fromStartVolume: video.videoClipVolume, toEndVolume: 0, timeRange: lastSecond)
//Add parameter
audioMix.inputParameters = audioMixParam
// Export part, left for facility
let exporter = AVAssetExportSession(asset: videoFilteredAsset, presetName: AVAssetExportPresetHighestQuality)!
exporter.videoComposition = videoFilterComposition
exporter.outputURL = url
exporter.outputFileType = AVFileTypeQuickTimeMovie
exporter.audioMix = audioMix
exporter.exportAsynchronously(completionHandler: { () -> Void in
completion!(exporter, url)
})
}
After that again I am using a method to merge all the Video Clips using AVAssetExportSession, there I am not setting any AudioMixInputParameters.
Note: When I am setting up volume in final merging method using AVAssetExportSession's AudioMixInputParameters, then Volume is getting change for full Video.
My question: Is it possible to set multiple volume for each Video Clips. Please suggest. Thank you!
Here is the working solution for my question:
func addVolumeToIndividualVideoClip(_ assetURL: URL, video: VideoFileModel, completion : ((_ session: AVAssetExportSession?, _ outputURL : URL?) -> ())?){
//Create Asset from Url
let filteredVideoAsset: AVAsset = AVAsset(url: assetURL)
video.fileID = String(video.videoID)
//Get the path of App Document Directory
let documentDirectory = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.documentDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0]
let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: documentDirectory).appendingPathComponent("\(video.fileID)_\("FilterVideo").mov")
let filePath = url.path
let fileManager = FileManager.default
do {
if fileManager.fileExists(atPath: filePath) {
print("FILE AVAILABLE")
try fileManager.removeItem(atPath:filePath)
} else {
print("FILE NOT AVAILABLE")
}
} catch _ {
}
let composition: AVMutableComposition = AVMutableComposition()
let compositionVideo: AVMutableCompositionTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo, preferredTrackID: CMPersistentTrackID())
let compositionAudioVideo: AVMutableCompositionTrack = composition.addMutableTrack(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeAudio, preferredTrackID: CMPersistentTrackID())
//Add video to the final record
do {
try compositionVideo.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, filteredVideoAsset.duration), of: filteredVideoAsset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo)[0], at: kCMTimeZero)
} catch _ {
}
//Extract audio from the video and the music
let audioMix: AVMutableAudioMix = AVMutableAudioMix()
var audioMixParam: [AVMutableAudioMixInputParameters] = []
let assetVideoTrack: AVAssetTrack = filteredVideoAsset.tracks(withMediaType: AVMediaTypeAudio)[0]
let videoParam: AVMutableAudioMixInputParameters = AVMutableAudioMixInputParameters(track: assetVideoTrack)
videoParam.trackID = compositionAudioVideo.trackID
//Set final volume of the audio record and the music
videoParam.setVolume(video.videoVolume, at: kCMTimeZero)
//Add setting
audioMixParam.append(videoParam)
//Add audio on final record
//First: the audio of the record and Second: the music
do {
try compositionAudioVideo.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, filteredVideoAsset.duration), of: assetVideoTrack, at: kCMTimeZero)
} catch _ {
assertionFailure()
}
//Fading volume out for background music
let durationInSeconds = CMTimeGetSeconds(filteredVideoAsset.duration)
let firstSecond = CMTimeRangeMake(CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(0, 1), CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(1, 1))
let lastSecond = CMTimeRangeMake(CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(durationInSeconds-1, 1), CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(1, 1))
videoParam.setVolumeRamp(fromStartVolume: 0, toEndVolume: video.videoVolume, timeRange: firstSecond)
videoParam.setVolumeRamp(fromStartVolume: video.videoVolume, toEndVolume: 0, timeRange: lastSecond)
//Add parameter
audioMix.inputParameters = audioMixParam
//Remove the previous temp video if exist
let filemgr = FileManager.default
do {
if filemgr.fileExists(atPath: "\(video.fileID)_\("FilterVideo").mov") {
try filemgr.removeItem(atPath: "\(video.fileID)_\("FilterVideo").mov")
} else {
}
} catch _ {
}
//Exporte the final record’
let exporter: AVAssetExportSession = AVAssetExportSession(asset: composition, presetName: AVAssetExportPresetHighestQuality)!
exporter.outputURL = url
exporter.outputFileType = AVFileTypeMPEG4
exporter.audioMix = audioMix
exporter.exportAsynchronously(completionHandler: { () -> Void in
completion!(exporter, url)
// self.saveVideoToLibrary(from: filePath)
})
}
I found, that exporting an asset with preset of AVAssetExportPresetPassthrough doesn't have an impact on output volume. When I tried to use AVAssetExportPresetLowQuality, volume change successfully applied.
I wish it is better documented somewhere :(
The working code:
// Assume we have:
let composition: AVMutableComposition
var inputParameters = [AVAudioMixInputParameters]()
// We add a track
let trackComposition = composition.addMutableTrack(...)
// Configure volume for this track
let inputParameter = AVMutableAudioMixInputParameters(track: trackComposition)
inputParameter.setVolume(desiredVolume, at: startTime)
// It works even without setting the `trackID`
// inputParameter.trackID = trackComposition.trackID
inputParameters.append(inputParameter)
// Apply gathered `inputParameters` before exporting
let audioMix = AVMutableAudioMix()
audioMix.inputParameters = inputParameters
// I found it's not working, if using `AVAssetExportPresetPassthrough`,
// so try `AVAssetExportPresetLowQuality` first
let export = AVAssetExportSession(..., presetName: AVAssetExportPresetLowQuality)
export.audioMix = audioMix
Tested this with multiple assetTrack insertions to the same compositionTrack, setting different volume for each insertion. Seems to be working.
The code below exports a video using AVMutableComposition. But in the exported video, if you want an image to display for 3 seconds after the source video finishes, is there a way to do that with AVMutableCompositionTrack or do you need to add an image layer and animate its appearance after the video ends?
Eventually, the goal is to merge an arbitrary number of images and videos into one master video.
Unfortunately, during testing it seems like AVVideoCompositionCoreAnimationTool severely slows down the export process (from < 1 second to 10-20 seconds), so the goal is to avoid AVVideoCompositionCoreAnimationTool if possible.
// Create composition object
let composition = AVMutableComposition()
let compositionVideoTrack = composition.addMutableTrackWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo, preferredTrackID: CMPersistentTrackID(kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid))
let compositionAudioTrack = composition.addMutableTrackWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio, preferredTrackID: CMPersistentTrackID(kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid))
var insertTime = kCMTimeZero
// Extract tracks from slice video
let videoURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: videoPath)
let videoAsset = AVURLAsset(URL: videoURL, options: nil)
let sourceVideoTrack = videoAsset.tracksWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo)[0]
let sourceAudioTrack = videoAsset.tracksWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio)[0]
do {
try compositionVideoTrack.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, videoAsset.duration), ofTrack: sourceVideoTrack, atTime: kCMTimeZero)
try compositionAudioTrack.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, videoAsset.duration), ofTrack: sourceAudioTrack, atTime: kCMTimeZero)
} catch {
print("Error with insertTimeRange while exporting video: \(error)")
}
// Export composition to video
let outputURL = getFilePath(getUniqueFilename(gMP4File))
let exporter = AVAssetExportSession(asset: composition, presetName: AVAssetExportPresetHighestQuality)
exporter!.outputURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: outputURL)
exporter!.outputFileType = AVFileTypeMPEG4
exporter!.exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler({
self.exportDidFinish(exporter!)
})
After consulting others on SO and performing more web research, it seems like this is not possible. Merging an image with a video into a master video that is playable out of an app seems to require AVVideoCompositionCoreAnimationTool.
I'm trying to combine one videotrack and two audiotracks with AVComposition. It works ok (I have some video with two audiotracks as the result), but there is a strange problem: when I'm trying to play resulting video in player, it's playing for, like, 18 seconds and after that it starts from the beginning!
After that it's ok.
Why it could happen?
videoAsset, audioAsset, and audioAsset2 are just AVAssets initialized with URL.
//Creating AVMutableComposition
var mixComposition = AVMutableComposition()
let videoTrack = mixComposition.addMutableTrackWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo, preferredTrackID: Int32(kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid))
try! videoTrack.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, videoAsset.duration),
ofTrack: videoAsset.tracksWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo)[0],
atTime: kCMTimeZero)
let audioTrack = mixComposition.addMutableTrackWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio, preferredTrackID: 0)
try! audioTrack.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, CMTimeAdd(kCMTimeZero, audioAsset.duration)),ofTrack: audioAsset.tracksWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio)[0], atTime: kCMTimeZero)
//the first audiotrack is very short, it's just an overlay for the first several seconds
let audioTrack2 = mixComposition.addMutableTrackWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio, preferredTrackID: 1)
try! audioTrack2.insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, videoAsset.duration), ofTrack: audioAsset2.tracksWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio)[0], atTime: kCMTimeZero)
//this one is the main audiotrack for the video. its length slighly bigger than video duration, so I use videoAsset.duration here
//Player
self.videoitem = AVPlayerItem(asset: mixComposition)
player = AVPlayer(playerItem: self.videoitem)
let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
playerLayer.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor().CGColor
playerLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight)
self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self,
selector: "playerItemDidReachEnd:",
name: AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification,
object: player.currentItem)
player.volume = 0.7
player.play()
I wrote a program in Swift.I want to merge a video with an audio file, but got this error.

In my idea media type like mpeg4 is wrong.
Where is the problem? What am i missing?
Improved code (of Govind's answer) with some additional features:
Merge audio of the video + external audio (the initial answer was dropping the sound of the video)
Flip video horizontally if needed (I personally use it when user captures using frontal camera, btw instagram flips it too)
Apply preferredTransform correctly which solves the issue when video was saved rotated (video is external: captured by other device/generated by other app)
Removed some unused code with VideoComposition.
Added a completion handler to the method so that it can be called from a different class.
Update to Swift 4.

Again thanks to #Govind's answer! It helped me a lot!
Hope this update helps someone too:)
In Above question same error I found due to wrong savePathUrl, destination URL should be like below code including new video name.
I was looking for the code to Merge audio and video files into one video but couldn't find anywhere so after spending hours while reading apple docs I wrote this code.
NOTE : This is tested and 100% working code for me.
Stap : 1
Import this modules in your viewController.
import UIKit
import AVFoundation
import AVKit
import AssetsLibrary
step 2:
Add this function in your code
func mergeFilesWithUrl(videoUrl:NSURL, audioUrl:NSURL)
{
let mixComposition : AVMutableComposition = AVMutableComposition()
var mutableCompositionVideoTrack : [AVMutableCompositionTrack] = []
var mutableCompositionAudioTrack : [AVMutableCompositionTrack] = []
let totalVideoCompositionInstruction : AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction = AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction()
//start merge
let aVideoAsset : AVAsset = AVAsset(URL: videoUrl)
let aAudioAsset : AVAsset = AVAsset(URL: audioUrl)
mutableCompositionVideoTrack.append(mixComposition.addMutableTrackWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid))
mutableCompositionAudioTrack.append( mixComposition.addMutableTrackWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio, preferredTrackID: kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid))
let aVideoAssetTrack : AVAssetTrack = aVideoAsset.tracksWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeVideo)[0]
let aAudioAssetTrack : AVAssetTrack = aAudioAsset.tracksWithMediaType(AVMediaTypeAudio)[0]
do{
try mutableCompositionVideoTrack[0].insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, aVideoAssetTrack.timeRange.duration), ofTrack: aVideoAssetTrack, atTime: kCMTimeZero)
//In my case my audio file is longer then video file so i took videoAsset duration
//instead of audioAsset duration
try mutableCompositionAudioTrack[0].insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, aVideoAssetTrack.timeRange.duration), ofTrack: aAudioAssetTrack, atTime: kCMTimeZero)
//Use this instead above line if your audiofile and video file's playing durations are same
// try mutableCompositionAudioTrack[0].insertTimeRange(CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, aVideoAssetTrack.timeRange.duration), ofTrack: aAudioAssetTrack, atTime: kCMTimeZero)
}catch{
}
totalVideoCompositionInstruction.timeRange = CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero,aVideoAssetTrack.timeRange.duration )
let mutableVideoComposition : AVMutableVideoComposition = AVMutableVideoComposition()
mutableVideoComposition.frameDuration = CMTimeMake(1, 30)
mutableVideoComposition.renderSize = CGSizeMake(1280,720)
// playerItem = AVPlayerItem(asset: mixComposition)
// player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem!)
//
//
// AVPlayerVC.player = player
//find your video on this URl
let savePathUrl : NSURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSHomeDirectory() + "/Documents/newVideo.mp4")
let assetExport: AVAssetExportSession = AVAssetExportSession(asset: mixComposition, presetName: AVAssetExportPresetHighestQuality)!
assetExport.outputFileType = AVFileTypeMPEG4
assetExport.outputURL = savePathUrl
assetExport.shouldOptimizeForNetworkUse = true
assetExport.exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler { () -> Void in
switch assetExport.status {
case AVAssetExportSessionStatus.Completed:
//Uncomment this if u want to store your video in asset
//let assetsLib = ALAssetsLibrary()
//assetsLib.writeVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum(savePathUrl, completionBlock: nil)
print("success")
case AVAssetExportSessionStatus.Failed:
print("failed \(assetExport.error)")
case AVAssetExportSessionStatus.Cancelled:
print("cancelled \(assetExport.error)")
default:
print("complete")
}
}
}
Step 3:
Call function where u want like this
let videoUrl : NSURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("SampleVideo", ofType: "mp4")!)
let audioUrl : NSURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("SampleAudio", ofType: "mp3")!)
mergeFilesWithUrl(videoUrl, audioUrl: audioUrl)
hope this will help you and will save your time.

/// - Parameters:
/// - videoUrl: URL to video file
/// - audioUrl: URL to audio file
/// - shouldFlipHorizontally: pass True if video was recorded using frontal camera otherwise pass False
