How to add animation on image change while create

Question

I have an array of images from which I want to create a video by playing these images one after the other in a sequence.I want to add a different types of animation when image get change. Suggest me some method or any solution to achieve this functionality in Objective-C with the Cocoa framework.

Here is working code for making video of images, But please suggest that how we animate images while making video:

-(void)createVideoFromImages:(NSString *) path withSize:(CGSize) size
{
    NSError *error = nil;

    AVAssetWriter *videoWriter = [[AVAssetWriter alloc] initWithURL:
                                  [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] fileType:AVFileTypeMPEG4
                                                              error:&error];
    NSParameterAssert(videoWriter);

    NSDictionary *videoSettings = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                   AVVideoCodecH264, AVVideoCodecKey,
                                   [NSNumber numberWithInt:size.width], AVVideoWidthKey,
                                   [NSNumber numberWithInt:size.height], AVVideoHeightKey,
                                   nil];


    AVAssetWriterInput* videoWriterInput = [AVAssetWriterInput
                                            assetWriterInputWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo

    AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor *adaptor = [AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor
                                                     assetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptorWithAssetWriterInput:videoWriterInput

        }

By using your code it's not possible to animate image while processing video

But there is one idea to make video of animated images

You can record the screen while playing animation use this code to record screen
