How to use removeTimeRange method of AVMutableComposition? - ios

I have composed multiple videos and I want to remove last 0.5 second of all the tracks in the composition. I believe removeTimeRange can be used in situation.
Doc for this methods reads as
Removes a specified timeRange from all tracks of the composition
But not able to figure out the range that should be given to achieve this. My composition code is following:
AVAsset *asset0 = [self currentAsset:0];
AVAsset *asset1 = [self currentAsset:1];
AVAsset *asset2 = [self currentAsset:2];
AVAsset *asset3 = [self currentAsset:3];
AVAsset *asset4 = [self currentAsset:4];
NSArray *assets = #[asset0, asset1, asset2, asset3, asset4];
AVMutableComposition *mutableComposition = [AVMutableComposition composition];
AVMutableCompositionTrack *videoCompositionTrack = [mutableComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo
preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
AVMutableCompositionTrack *audioCompositionTrack = [mutableComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio
preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
NSMutableArray *instructions = [NSMutableArray new];
CGSize size = CGSizeZero;
CMTime time = kCMTimeZero;
for (AVAsset *asset in assets)
{
AVAssetTrack *assetTrack = [asset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo].firstObject;
AVAssetTrack *audioAssetTrack = [asset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio].firstObject;
NSError *error;
[videoCompositionTrack insertTimeRange:CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, assetTrack.timeRange.duration)
ofTrack:assetTrack
atTime:time
error:&error];
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error - %#", error.debugDescription);
}
[audioCompositionTrack insertTimeRange:CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, assetTrack.timeRange.duration)
ofTrack:audioAssetTrack
atTime:time
error:&error];
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error - %#", error.debugDescription);
}
AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction *videoCompositionInstruction = [AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction videoCompositionInstruction];
videoCompositionInstruction.timeRange = CMTimeRangeMake(time, assetTrack.timeRange.duration);
videoCompositionInstruction.layerInstructions = #[[AVMutableVideoCompositionLayerInstruction videoCompositionLayerInstructionWithAssetTrack:videoCompositionTrack]];
[instructions addObject:videoCompositionInstruction];
time = CMTimeAdd(time, assetTrack.timeRange.duration);
if (CGSizeEqualToSize(size, CGSizeZero)) {
size = assetTrack.naturalSize;;
}
}
AVMutableVideoComposition *mutableVideoComposition = [AVMutableVideoComposition videoComposition];
mutableVideoComposition.instructions = instructions;
mutableVideoComposition.frameDuration = CMTimeMake(1, 30);
mutableVideoComposition.renderSize = size;
pi = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithAsset:mutableComposition];
pi.videoComposition = mutableVideoComposition;
player = [AVPlayer playerWithPlayerItem:[[CameraEngine engine] pi]];
player.volume = 0.75;
playerLayer = [AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer: player];
playerLayer.frame = self.bounds;
[self.layer addSublayer: playerLayer];
[playerLayer setNeedsDisplay];
[player play];
I want to remove 0.5 sec of video from all 5 tracks after composition because I get blank frames in between when track changes.
All the tracks are fine(no black frame at the end).
I have tried removing frames directly from AVMutableCompositionTrack but againg blank frames comes after composition.
So I want to know how to produce this time range?

Record video while playing other video and export

I am using UIImagePickerController to record a video. And I am using AVPlayer to play video picked library, adding AVPlayerLayer to cameraOverlayView to see video while recording.
But I need to export the video that merge 2 videos (one is recorded video and one is library video). The result video should be the same with the view while I record (include 2 video).
Please help me the way to do that.
Finally, I found the solution. Simple than I think, AVFoundation make all for done my requirements.
//Load video using AVURLAsset
AVURLAsset *firstAsset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: #"file1" ofType: #"mp4"]] options:nil];
AVURLAsset *secondAsset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource: #"file2" ofType: #"mp4"]] options:nil];
//Create AVMutableComposition Object.This object will hold our multiple AVMutableCompositionTrack.
AVMutableComposition* mixComposition = [[AVMutableComposition alloc] init];
//Here we are creating the first AVMutableCompositionTrack.See how we are adding a new track to our AVMutableComposition.
AVMutableCompositionTrack *firstTrack = [mixComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
//Now we set the length of the firstTrack equal to the length of the firstAsset and add the firstAsset to out newly created track at kCMTimeZero so video plays from the start of the track.
[firstTrack insertTimeRange:CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, firstAsset.duration) ofTrack:[[firstAsset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] objectAtIndex:0] atTime:kCMTimeZero error:nil];
//Now we repeat the same process for the 2nd track as we did above for the first track.Note that the new track also starts at kCMTimeZero meaning both tracks will play simultaneously.
AVMutableCompositionTrack *secondTrack = [mixComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
[secondTrack insertTimeRange:CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, secondAsset.duration) ofTrack:[[secondAsset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] objectAtIndex:0] atTime:kCMTimeZero error:nil];
//Create instruction
AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction * MainInstruction = [AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction videoCompositionInstruction];
MainInstruction.timeRange = CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, secondAsset.duration);
//Create layer instruction for first video
AVMutableVideoCompositionLayerInstruction *FirstlayerInstruction = [AVMutableVideoCompositionLayerInstruction videoCompositionLayerInstructionWithAssetTrack:firstTrack];
CGAffineTransform Scale = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.7f,0.7f);
CGAffineTransform Move = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(200,120);
[FirstlayerInstruction setTransform:CGAffineTransformConcat(Scale,Move) atTime:kCMTimeZero];
//Create layer instruction for second video
AVMutableVideoCompositionLayerInstruction *SecondlayerInstruction = [AVMutableVideoCompositionLayerInstruction videoCompositionLayerInstructionWithAssetTrack:secondTrack];
CGAffineTransform SecondScale = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.2f,1.2f);
CGAffineTransform SecondMove = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0,0);
[SecondlayerInstruction setTransform:CGAffineTransformConcat(SecondScale,SecondMove) atTime:kCMTimeZero];
//Add the layer instruction to the composition instruction
MainInstruction.layerInstructions = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:FirstlayerInstruction,SecondlayerInstruction,nil];;
//Add composition instruction to video composition
AVMutableVideoComposition *MainCompositionInst = [AVMutableVideoComposition videoComposition];
MainCompositionInst.instructions = [NSArray arrayWithObject:MainInstruction];
MainCompositionInst.frameDuration = CMTimeMake(1, 30);
MainCompositionInst.renderSize = CGSizeMake(640, 480);
And if you want to play the video composition
AVPlayerItem * newPlayerItem = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithAsset:mixComposition];
newPlayerItem.videoComposition = MainCompositionInst;
self.mPlayer = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithPlayerItem:newPlayerItem];
[self.mPlayer addObserver:self forKeyPath:#"status" options:NSKeyValueObservingOptionInitial | NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew context:nil];
AVPlayerLayer *layer = [AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer:self.mPlayer];
self.mPlayer.actionAtItemEnd = AVPlayerActionAtItemEndNone;
layer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 640, 480);
[self.view.layer addSublayer: layer];
[self.mPlayer play];
And if you want to export the video composition to document directory
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory,
NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString* path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"outputFile_%#.mp4",#"Main"]];
NSURL* outputFileUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
exportSession = [[AVAssetExportSession alloc]initWithAsset:mixComposition presetName:AVAssetExportPreset640x480];
exportSession.videoComposition = MainCompositionInst;
exportSession.outputFileType = #"public.mpeg-4";
exportSession.outputURL = outputFileUrl;
NSLog(#"duration = %f", CMTimeGetSeconds(mixComposition.duration));
exportSession.timeRange=CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, mixComposition.duration);
[exportSession exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler:^{
switch(exportSession.status){
case AVAssetExportSessionStatusExporting:
NSLog(#"Exporting...");
break;
case AVAssetExportSessionStatusCompleted:
NSLog(#"Export completed, wohooo!! \n Check %#", path2);
break;
case AVAssetExportSessionStatusWaiting:
NSLog(#"Waiting...");
break;
case AVAssetExportSessionStatusCancelled:
NSLog(#"Cancelled");
break;
case AVAssetExportSessionStatusUnknown:
NSLog(#"Unknown");
break;
case AVAssetExportSessionStatusFailed:
NSLog(#"Failed with error: %#, try to save on %#", exportSession.error, path2);
break;
}
}];
Finally, if you want to tracking the progress
//Add a NSTimer for refresh checking the progress of AVAssetExportSession
exportProgressBarTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:.1 target:self selector:#selector(updateExportDisplay) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
And show the progress
- (void)updateExportDisplay {
NSLog(#"Exporting: %f", exportSession.progress);
if (exportSession.progress > .99) {
[exportProgressBarTimer invalidate];
}
}

iOS AVAssetExportSession failed Code=-11820 only iPhone 5(c)

I want to export a video file from a composition with two video's (with audio) and one audio track. It works fine for iPhone 5s and later, but it fails on a iPhone 5c (iOS 9.2.1). The error is returned on this:
[_assetExport exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler:
^(void ) {
if (AVAssetExportSessionStatusCompleted == _assetExport.status) {
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:#selector(videoIsDone) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];
} else {
NSLog(#"Export error: %#", _assetExport.error);
[self performSelectorOnMainThread:#selector(videoHasFailed) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];
}
}
];
The log that it printed:
Export error: Error Domain=AVFoundationErrorDomain Code=-11820 "Cannot Complete Export" UserInfo={NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Try exporting again., NSLocalizedDescription=Cannot Complete Export}
As stated, on my iPhone 5s, 6 and 6s it works very good, but only on my iPhone 5c it returns this error. Hopefully someone has experience with this.

In my opinion you are hitting the decoder limit set in AVFoundation.In iOS 5 the decoder limit is 4 and in iOS 6 it is 16 ,so try to export small size video if it is working means the problem is with your video file ...might be it exceeds the decode set limit.

Weird behaviour of AVPlayer

I am merging multiple videos and playing it in AVPlayer. Video starts fine, but after sometime video freezes and only audio plays. I have a UISlider which helps to go forward or backward in video using seekToTime:.
So the weird part is that after video freezes, if I use the slider to go forward or backward, video starts playing perfectly fine. I have tried my app in multiple devices.
So basically I have to use seekToTime: method to give the video a nudge every time it freezes.
My code for merging video and playing back is following:
AVAsset *asset0 = [self currentAsset:0];
AVAsset *asset1 = [self currentAsset:1];
AVAsset *asset2 = [self currentAsset:2];
AVAsset *asset3 = [self currentAsset:3];
AVAsset *asset4 = [self currentAsset:4];
NSArray *assets = #[asset0, asset1, asset2, asset3, asset4];
AVMutableComposition *mutableComposition = [AVMutableComposition composition];
AVMutableCompositionTrack *videoCompositionTrack = [mutableComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo
preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
AVMutableCompositionTrack *audioCompositionTrack = [mutableComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio
preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
NSMutableArray *instructions = [NSMutableArray new];
CGSize size = CGSizeZero;
CMTime time = kCMTimeZero;
for (AVAsset *asset in assets)
{
AVAssetTrack *assetTrack = [asset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo].firstObject;
AVAssetTrack *audioAssetTrack = [asset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio].firstObject;
NSError *error;
[videoCompositionTrack insertTimeRange:CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, assetTrack.timeRange.duration)
ofTrack:assetTrack
atTime:time
error:&error];
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error - %#", error.debugDescription);
}
[audioCompositionTrack insertTimeRange:CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, assetTrack.timeRange.duration)
ofTrack:audioAssetTrack
atTime:time
error:&error];
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error - %#", error.debugDescription);
}
AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction *videoCompositionInstruction = [AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction videoCompositionInstruction];
videoCompositionInstruction.timeRange = CMTimeRangeMake(time, assetTrack.timeRange.duration);
videoCompositionInstruction.layerInstructions = #[[AVMutableVideoCompositionLayerInstruction videoCompositionLayerInstructionWithAssetTrack:videoCompositionTrack]];
[instructions addObject:videoCompositionInstruction];
time = CMTimeAdd(time, assetTrack.timeRange.duration);
if (CGSizeEqualToSize(size, CGSizeZero)) {
size = assetTrack.naturalSize;;
}
}
AVMutableVideoComposition *mutableVideoComposition = [AVMutableVideoComposition videoComposition];
mutableVideoComposition.instructions = instructions;
mutableVideoComposition.frameDuration = CMTimeMake(1, 30);
mutableVideoComposition.renderSize = size;
pi = [AVPlayerItem playerItemWithAsset:mutableComposition];
pi.videoComposition = mutableVideoComposition;
player = [AVPlayer playerWithPlayerItem:[[CameraEngine engine] pi]];
player.volume = 0.75;
playerLayer = [AVPlayerLayer playerLayerWithPlayer: player];
playerLayer.frame = self.bounds;
[self.layer addSublayer: playerLayer];
[playerLayer setNeedsDisplay];
[player play];
UPDATE : Found out this link which describes similar problem. But his solution is not well understood.
Why do you call [AVPlayer playerWithPlayerItem:[[CameraEngine engine] pi]] instead of [AVPlayer playerWithPlayerItem:pi]? Your construct your composition and assign it to pi while it is not used anywhere. Try to use [AVPlayer playerWithPlayerItem:pi] instead.
If this will not help try to change your videoComposition generation. Try to do the following:
AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction *videoCompositionInstruction = [AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction videoCompositionInstruction];
videoCompositionInstruction.timeRange = CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, mutableComposition.timeRange.duration);
videoCompositionInstruction.layerInstructions = #[[AVMutableVideoCompositionLayerInstruction videoCompositionLayerInstructionWithAssetTrack:[mutableComposition tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo].firstObject]];
AVMutableVideoComposition *mutableVideoComposition = [AVMutableVideoComposition videoComposition];
mutableVideoComposition.instructions = #[videoCompositionInstruction];
mutableVideoComposition.frameDuration = CMTimeMake(1, 30);
mutableVideoComposition.renderSize = size;
after your for loop. Hope this helps!

Can i merge two videos one with front cam and another with back cam in AVFoundation

When i try to merge two videos one with front camera and the other with back camera, There is a problem in the orientation in one of the videos, I use this code :
-(void) combineMultibleVideoSegments

}
So can any one tell me what i can do to fix this problem
