I need to rotate a video because of iPhone back camera is recording as if it were always on landscape left. I need to physically rotate video because settings orientation don't work on all browser (ex. Chrome). So I setup some code to read recorded video and saving it after rotation. I used AVAssetExportSession which seems to work quite well apart two problems: - the exported video have some black frames at the beginning - some videos won't be exported.
Is it possible to have some insight about the problem? Thanks!
Code:
AVAsset* asset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL: videoUrl options:nil];
AVMutableComposition *composition = [AVMutableComposition composition];
AVMutableCompositionTrack *compositionVideoTrack = [composition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
AVMutableCompositionTrack *compositionAudioTrack = [composition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
AVAssetTrack *videoTrack = [[asset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] objectAtIndex:0];
AVAssetTrack *audioTrack = [[asset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio] objectAtIndex:0];
[compositionVideoTrack insertTimeRange:CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, asset.duration) ofTrack:videoTrack atTime:kCMTimeZero error: &error];
[compositionVideoTrack insertTimeRange:CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, asset.duration) ofTrack:audioTrack atTime:kCMTimeZero error: &error];
AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction *instruction = [AVMutableVideoCompositionInstruction videoCompositionInstruction];
instruction.timeRange = CMTimeRangeMake( kCMTimeZero, asset.duration);
AVMutableVideoCompositionLayerInstruction *layerInstruction = [AVMutableVideoCompositionLayerInstruction videoCompositionLayerInstructionWithAssetTrack:compositionVideoTrack];
[layerInstruction setTransform:transformToApply atTime:kCMTimeZero];
CGAffineTransform transformToApply = ///code to setup transformation
[layerInstruction setTransform:transformToApply atTime:kCMTimeZero];
[layerInstruction setOpacity:0.0 atTime:asset.duration];
instruction.layerInstructions = [NSArray arrayWithObject: layerInstruction];
AVMutableVideoComposition *videoComposition = [AVMutableVideoComposition videoComposition];
videoComposition.instructions = [NSArray arrayWithObject: instruction];
videoComposition.frameDuration = CMTimeMake( 1, 600);
videoComposition.renderScale = 1.0;
videoComposition.renderSize = videoOutputSize;
AVAssetExportSession *exportSession = [[AVAssetExportSession alloc] initWithAsset:asset presetName:AVAssetExportPresetMediumQuality] ;
exportSession.outputURL = self.outputUrl;
exportSession.outputFileType = AVFileTypeQuickTimeMovie;
exportSession.videoComposition = videoComposition;
exportSession.shouldOptimizeForNetworkUse = YES;
exportSession.timeRange = CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, asset.duration);
__block BOOL finishedExporting = NO;
[exportSession exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler:^{
//
}];
