I would like to load a video from the Videos app. However, videos are stored in a different location than photos, correct? Is it possible to retrieve videos? If so, how?
It isn't possible through the MPMedia* classes, which I wasn't aware of. Here is how to select videos from the camera roll:
IImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.delegate = self;
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
imagePicker.mediaTypes = [UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:imagePicker.sourceType];
imagePicker.allowsEditing = NO;
Unfortunately that only works for videos that have been recorded by you. It seems that anything else is unsupported.

I am building an app in which user can pick(from library) or capture(record) image/video/audio.
I have already implemented for video and image media and recoding audio file but while accessing audio from library its crashing on below line. Its working fine when I try to acsess image and video file from library.
I think this is happening because of audio file are not storeded in photoLibrary, if so can anyone please tell me how can I accsess/open only audio files from device so user can have options to choose.
// below is the code I'm using for selecting media (image/video/audio)
- (void)selectingMediaFromLibraryOfType:(MEDIAUPLOADTYPE)mediaType {
UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.delegate = self;
picker.allowsEditing = YES;
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
switch (mediaType) {
case mediaUploadTpeAudio:
picker.mediaTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:(NSString *)kUTTypeMP3, nil]; //crashing on this line
break;
case mediaUploadTpeImage:
break;
case mediaUploadTpeVideo:
picker.mediaTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie, nil];
break;
default:
break;
}
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
I have done same for image and video and it's working.
Also I want to know where files are store when you transfer/download audio file from ios to ios.
Media picker for audio is different than images and videos. You have to use MPMediaPickerController class. It functions same as UIImagePickerController class.
and implement MPMediaPickerControllerDelegate to get the selected files.
After testing my app on an iPhone 6S+, I noticed the videos it produced were only 1080p, despite the fact that it should be capable of recording in 4K. My UIImagePickerController is set up like so:
UIImagePickerController *imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePickerController.delegate = self;
imagePickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
imagePickerController.mediaTypes = #[(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie];
imagePickerController.videoMaximumDuration = 3600.f;
imagePickerController.videoQuality = UIImagePickerControllerQualityTypeHigh;
[self presentViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES completion:nil];
I thought that perhaps there would be a new UIImagePickerControllerQualityType key for selecting 'very high' quality, but 'high' still seems to be the best quality available. Is there a way to enable 4K recording using UIImagePickerController, or do I have to roll my own solution using AVFoundation?
In some iOS version this was solved and now, doing
picker.videoQuality = .typeHigh
my iPhone is taking 4k videos.
I've been unable to get the trim controls to appear when capturing an iOS movie.
Here's my code:
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
imagePicker.mediaTypes = #[(__bridge NSString *)kUTTypeMovie, (__bridge NSString *)kUTTypeImage];
imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;
imagePicker.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:nil];
Additionally, I'm capturing the reply with imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:.
From searching StackOverflow I'm aware that I need to actually trim the video myself. That doesn't seem too difficult, but while I get the image picker and can capture a video I can't get the trim controls to appear! What am I missing?
My mistake was just in using video samples that were too short. They need to be over a certain length before the trimming tools will appear.
I want to upload multiple video to server using ASIHttDataFormRequest.For selecting video ,I am using ImagePickerViewController But it doesn't give the option to select multiple video.
Bellow is the code, which is used to open imagePicker and but unable to select multiple video.
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.delegate = self;
imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;
imagePicker.mediaTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: (NSString *) kUTTypeMovie, nil];
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeSavedPhotosAlbum;
[self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:nil];
Please help me by giving some clue or code. Thanks in Advance
Use this sample

For video multiple selection refer
Use ELCImagePickerController to pick video
Hope it helps you..
Here is the library to take a photo or select from library: https://github.com/fulldecent/FDTake
This works great so far for photos. Video is in progress.
I know that this question been asked before, but I'm getting an error while I'm running this code for picking video.
-(void)video
{
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker =
[[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePicker.delegate = self;
imagePicker.sourceType =
UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
imagePicker.mediaTypes = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:(NSString *)kUTTypeMovie,nil];
[self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
}
This code taking me to a window where video should appear. But the window is blank. The message showing is "No Videos you can sync photos and videos onto your iPod.............albums and videos" . I know that this message shows when there is no videos in video library. But I import lot of videos and still showing this error.
You should take a look at this "HowTo" : http://www.raywenderlich.com/13418/how-to-play-record-edit-videos-in-ios. It helped me a lot.
You will only need the first part.
