ios - guia - ¿Cómo exporto la matriz UIImage como una película?

qgis manual

Question

Tengo un problema grave: tengo un NSArray con varios objetos UIImage . Lo que ahora quiero hacer es crear una película de esos UIImages . Pero no tengo ni idea de cómo hacerlo.

Espero que alguien me pueda ayudar o enviarme un fragmento de código que haga algo como lo que quiero.

Editar: para referencia futura: después de aplicar la solución, si el video parece distorsionado, asegúrese de que el ancho de las imágenes / área que está capturando sea un múltiplo de 16. Se encuentra después de muchas horas de lucha aquí:
¿Por qué mi película de UIImages se distorsiona?

Aquí está la solución completa (solo asegúrese de que el ancho sea múltiplo de 16)

Answer 1

Aquí hay una versión de Swift 2.x probada en iOS 8. Combina respuestas de @Scott Raposa y @Praxiteles junto con el código de @acj contribuido para otra pregunta. El código de @acj está aquí: https://gist.github.com/acj/6ae90aa1ebb8cad6b47b . @TimBull también proporcionó código también.

Al igual que @Scott Raposa, nunca había oído hablar de CVPixelBufferPoolCreatePixelBuffer y muchas otras funciones, y mucho menos de cómo usarlas.

Lo que ves a continuación se improvisó principalmente por prueba y error y al leer los documentos de Apple. Utilice con precaución y brinde sugerencias si hay errores.

Uso:

import UIKit
import AVFoundation
import Photos

writeImagesAsMovie(yourImages, videoPath: yourPath, videoSize: yourSize, videoFPS: 30)

Código:

func writeImagesAsMovie(allImages: [UIImage], videoPath: String, videoSize: CGSize, videoFPS: Int32) {
    // Create AVAssetWriter to write video
    guard let assetWriter = createAssetWriter(videoPath, size: videoSize) else {
        print("Error converting images to video: AVAssetWriter not created")
        return
    }

    // If here, AVAssetWriter exists so create AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor

        ]
    let pixelBufferAdaptor = AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor(assetWriterInput: writerInput, sourcePixelBufferAttributes: sourceBufferAttributes)

    // Start writing session
    assetWriter.startWriting()
    assetWriter.startSessionAtSourceTime(kCMTimeZero)

Answer 2

Eche un vistazo a AVAssetWriter y al resto del AVAssetWriter . El escritor tiene una entrada de tipo AVAssetWriterInput , que a su vez tiene un método llamado AVAssetWriterInput que le permite agregar cuadros individuales a una secuencia de video. Básicamente, tendrás que:

1) Conecta al escritor:

NSError *error = nil;
AVAssetWriter *videoWriter = [[AVAssetWriter alloc] initWithURL:
    [NSURL fileURLWithPath:somePath] fileType:AVFileTypeQuickTimeMovie
    error:&error];
NSParameterAssert(videoWriter);

NSDictionary *videoSettings = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
    AVVideoCodecH264, AVVideoCodecKey,
    [NSNumber numberWithInt:640], AVVideoWidthKey,
    [NSNumber numberWithInt:480], AVVideoHeightKey,
    nil];
AVAssetWriterInput* writerInput = [[AVAssetWriterInput
    assetWriterInputWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo
    outputSettings:videoSettings] retain]; //retain should be removed if ARC

NSParameterAssert(writerInput);
NSParameterAssert([videoWriter canAddInput:writerInput]);
[videoWriter addInput:writerInput];

2) Comienza una sesión:

[videoWriter startWriting];
[videoWriter startSessionAtSourceTime:…] //use kCMTimeZero if unsure

3) Escribe algunas muestras:

// Or you can use AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor.
// That lets you feed the writer input data from a CVPixelBuffer
// that’s quite easy to create from a CGImage.
[writerInput appendSampleBuffer:sampleBuffer];

4) Finaliza la sesión:

[writerInput markAsFinished];
[videoWriter endSessionAtSourceTime:…]; //optional can call finishWriting without specifiying endTime
[videoWriter finishWriting]; //deprecated in ios6
/*
[videoWriter finishWritingWithCompletionHandler:...]; //ios 6.0+
*/

Todavía tendrá que completar muchos espacios en blanco, pero creo que la única parte realmente dura que queda es obtener un buffer de píxeles de un CGImage :

- (CVPixelBufferRef) newPixelBufferFromCGImage: (CGImageRef) image
{
    NSDictionary *options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
        [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], kCVPixelBufferCGImageCompatibilityKey,
        [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], kCVPixelBufferCGBitmapContextCompatibilityKey,
        nil];
    CVPixelBufferRef pxbuffer = NULL;
    CVReturn status = CVPixelBufferCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, frameSize.width,
        frameSize.height, kCVPixelFormatType_32ARGB, (CFDictionaryRef) options, 
        &pxbuffer);
    NSParameterAssert(status == kCVReturnSuccess && pxbuffer != NULL);

    CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(pxbuffer, 0);
    void *pxdata = CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddress(pxbuffer);
    NSParameterAssert(pxdata != NULL);

    CGColorSpaceRef rgbColorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
    CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(pxdata, frameSize.width,
        frameSize.height, 8, 4*frameSize.width, rgbColorSpace, 
        kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipFirst);
    NSParameterAssert(context);
    CGContextConcatCTM(context, frameTransform);
    CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, CGImageGetWidth(image), 
        CGImageGetHeight(image)), image);
    CGColorSpaceRelease(rgbColorSpace);
    CGContextRelease(context);

    CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress(pxbuffer, 0);

    return pxbuffer;
}

frameSize es un CGSize describe su tamaño de fotograma objetivo y frameTransform es un CGAffineTransform que le permite transformar las imágenes cuando las dibuja en marcos.

Tomé las ideas principales de Zoul e incorporé el método AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor e inicié algunos pequeños frameworks.

Answer 4

Aquí está el último código de trabajo en iOS8 en Objective-C.

Tuvimos que hacer una variedad de ajustes a la respuesta anterior de @Zoul para que funcione en la última versión de Xcode e iOS8. Aquí está nuestro código de trabajo completo que toma una matriz de UIImages, los convierte en un archivo .mov, lo guarda en un directorio temporal y luego lo mueve al rodillo de la cámara. Reunimos código de múltiples publicaciones diferentes para que funcione. Hemos resaltado las trampas que tuvimos que resolver para que el código funcione en nuestros comentarios.

(1) Crea una colección de UIImages

[self saveMovieToLibrary]


- (IBAction)saveMovieToLibrary
{
    // You just need the height and width of the video here
    // For us, our input and output video was 640 height x 480 width
    // which is what we get from the iOS front camera
    ATHSingleton *singleton = [ATHSingleton singletons];
    int height = singleton.screenHeight;
    int width = singleton.screenWidth;

    // You can save a .mov or a .mp4 file        
    //NSString *fileNameOut = @"temp.mp4";
    NSString *fileNameOut = @"temp.mov";

    // We chose to save in the tmp/ directory on the device initially
    NSString *directoryOut = @"tmp/";
    NSString *outFile = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@",directoryOut,fileNameOut];
    NSString *path = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:outFile]];
    NSURL *videoTempURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", NSTemporaryDirectory(), fileNameOut]];

    // WARNING: AVAssetWriter does not overwrite files for us, so remove the destination file if it already exists
    NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
    [fileManager removeItemAtPath:[videoTempURL path]  error:NULL];


    // Create your own array of UIImages        
    NSMutableArray *images = [NSMutableArray array];
    for (int i=0; i<singleton.numberOfScreenshots; i++)
    {
        // This was our routine that returned a UIImage. Just use your own.
        UIImage *image =[self uiimageFromCopyOfPixelBuffersUsingIndex:i];
        // We used a routine to write text onto every image 
        // so we could validate the images were actually being written when testing. This was it below. 
        image = [self writeToImage:image Text:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i",i ]];
        [images addObject:image];     
    }

// If you just want to manually add a few images - here is code you can uncomment
// NSString *path = [NSHomeDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Documents/movie.mp4"]];
//    NSArray *images = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
//                      [UIImage imageNamed:@"add_ar.png"],
//                      [UIImage imageNamed:@"add_ja.png"],
//                      [UIImage imageNamed:@"add_ru.png"],
//                      [UIImage imageNamed:@"add_ru.png"],
//                      [UIImage imageNamed:@"add_ar.png"],
//                      [UIImage imageNamed:@"add_ja.png"],
//                      [UIImage imageNamed:@"add_ru.png"],
//                      [UIImage imageNamed:@"add_ar.png"],
//                      [UIImage imageNamed:@"add_en.png"], nil];



    [self writeImageAsMovie:images toPath:path size:CGSizeMake(height, width)];
}

Este es el método principal que crea su AssetWriter y le agrega imágenes para escribir.

(2) Conecta un AVAssetWriter

-(void)writeImageAsMovie:(NSArray *)array toPath:(NSString*)path size:(CGSize)size
{

    NSError *error = nil;

    // FIRST, start up an AVAssetWriter instance to write your video
    // Give it a destination path (for us: tmp/temp.mov)
    AVAssetWriter *videoWriter = [[AVAssetWriter alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path]
                                                           fileType:AVFileTypeQuickTimeMovie
                                                              error:&error];


    NSParameterAssert(videoWriter);

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

    AVAssetWriterInput* writerInput = [AVAssetWriterInput assetWriterInputWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo
                                                                         outputSettings:videoSettings];

    AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor *adaptor = [AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor assetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptorWithAssetWriterInput:writerInput
                                                                                                                     sourcePixelBufferAttributes:nil];
    NSParameterAssert(writerInput);
    NSParameterAssert([videoWriter canAddInput:writerInput]);
    [videoWriter addInput:writerInput];

(3) Comience una sesión de escritura (NOTA: el método continúa desde arriba)

    //Start a SESSION of writing. 
    // After you start a session, you will keep adding image frames 
    // until you are complete - then you will tell it you are done.
    [videoWriter startWriting];
    // This starts your video at time = 0
    [videoWriter startSessionAtSourceTime:kCMTimeZero];

    CVPixelBufferRef buffer = NULL;

    // This was just our utility class to get screen sizes etc.    
    ATHSingleton *singleton = [ATHSingleton singletons];

    int i = 0;
    while (1)
    {
        // Check if the writer is ready for more data, if not, just wait
        if(writerInput.readyForMoreMediaData){

            CMTime frameTime = CMTimeMake(150, 600);
            // CMTime = Value and Timescale.
            // Timescale = the number of tics per second you want
            // Value is the number of tics
            // For us - each frame we add will be 1/4th of a second
            // Apple recommend 600 tics per second for video because it is a 
            // multiple of the standard video rates 24, 30, 60 fps etc.
            CMTime lastTime=CMTimeMake(i*150, 600);
            CMTime presentTime=CMTimeAdd(lastTime, frameTime);

            if (i == 0) {presentTime = CMTimeMake(0, 600);} 
            // This ensures the first frame starts at 0.


            if (i >= [array count])
            {
                buffer = NULL;
            }
            else
            {
                // This command grabs the next UIImage and converts it to a CGImage
                buffer = [self pixelBufferFromCGImage:[[array objectAtIndex:i] CGImage]];
            }


            if (buffer)
            {
                // Give the CGImage to the AVAssetWriter to add to your video
                [adaptor appendPixelBuffer:buffer withPresentationTime:presentTime];
                i++;
            }
            else
            {

(4) Finalice la sesión (Nota: el método continúa desde arriba)

                //Finish the session:
                // This is important to be done exactly in this order
                [writerInput markAsFinished];
                // WARNING: finishWriting in the solution above is deprecated. 
                // You now need to give a completion handler.
                [videoWriter finishWritingWithCompletionHandler:^{
                    NSLog(@"Finished writing...checking completion status...");
                    if (videoWriter.status != AVAssetWriterStatusFailed && videoWriter.status == AVAssetWriterStatusCompleted)
                    {
                        NSLog(@"Video writing succeeded.");

                        // Move video to camera roll
                        // NOTE: You cannot write directly to the camera roll. 
                        // You must first write to an iOS directory then move it!
                        NSURL *videoTempURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", path]];
                        [self saveToCameraRoll:videoTempURL];

                    } else
                    {
                        NSLog(@"Video writing failed: %@", videoWriter.error);
                    }

                }]; // end videoWriter finishWriting Block

                CVPixelBufferPoolRelease(adaptor.pixelBufferPool);

                NSLog (@"Done");
                break;
            }
        }
    }    
}

(5) Convierta sus UIImages en un CVPixelBufferRef
Este método le dará una referencia de búfer de píxeles de CV que necesita el AssetWriter. Esto se obtiene de un CGImageRef que obtienes de tu UIImage (arriba).

- (CVPixelBufferRef) pixelBufferFromCGImage: (CGImageRef) image
{
    // This again was just our utility class for the height & width of the
    // incoming video (640 height x 480 width)
    ATHSingleton *singleton = [ATHSingleton singletons];
    int height = singleton.screenHeight;
    int width = singleton.screenWidth;

    NSDictionary *options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                             [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], kCVPixelBufferCGImageCompatibilityKey,
                             [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], kCVPixelBufferCGBitmapContextCompatibilityKey,
                             nil];
    CVPixelBufferRef pxbuffer = NULL;

    CVReturn status = CVPixelBufferCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, width,
                                          height, kCVPixelFormatType_32ARGB, (__bridge CFDictionaryRef) options,
                                          &pxbuffer);

    NSParameterAssert(status == kCVReturnSuccess && pxbuffer != NULL);

    CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(pxbuffer, 0);
    void *pxdata = CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddress(pxbuffer);
    NSParameterAssert(pxdata != NULL);

    CGColorSpaceRef rgbColorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();

    CGContextRef context = CGBitmapContextCreate(pxdata, width,
                                                 height, 8, 4*width, rgbColorSpace,

    CGContextConcatCTM(context, CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(0));
    CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, CGImageGetWidth(image),

    CGColorSpaceRelease(rgbColorSpace);
    CGContextRelease(context);

    CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress(pxbuffer, 0);

    return pxbuffer;
}

(6) Mueva su video al rollo de la cámara Debido a que AVAssetWriter no puede escribir directamente en el rollo de la cámara, esto mueve el video de "tmp / temp.mov" (o el nombre del archivo que lo haya mencionado arriba) al rollo de la cámara.

- (void) saveToCameraRoll:(NSURL *)srcURL
{
    NSLog(@"srcURL: %@", srcURL);

    ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
    ALAssetsLibraryWriteVideoCompletionBlock videoWriteCompletionBlock =
    ^(NSURL *newURL, NSError *error) {
        if (error) {
            NSLog( @"Error writing image with metadata to Photo Library: %@", error );
        } else {
            NSLog( @"Wrote image with metadata to Photo Library %@", newURL.absoluteString);
        }
    };

    if ([library videoAtPathIsCompatibleWithSavedPhotosAlbum:srcURL])
    {
        [library writeVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum:srcURL
                                    completionBlock:videoWriteCompletionBlock];
    }
}

La respuesta de Zoul arriba da un buen bosquejo de lo que harás. Comentamos extensamente este código para que luego pueda ver cómo se hizo usando código de trabajo.

Answer 5

NOTA: Esta es una solución Swift 2.1 (iOS8 +, XCode 7.2) .

La semana pasada me propuse escribir el código de iOS para generar un video a partir de imágenes. Tenía un poco de experiencia en AVFoundation, pero nunca había oído hablar de un CVPixelBuffer. Encontré las respuestas en esta página y también here . Me tomó varios días analizar todo y volver a armarlo en Swift de una manera que tuviera sentido para mi cerebro. A continuación es lo que se me ocurrió.

NOTA: Si copia / pega todo el código siguiente en un solo archivo Swift, debería compilarse. Solo tendrá que ajustar loadImages() y los valores de RenderSettings .

Parte 1: configurar las cosas

Aquí RenderSettings todas las configuraciones relacionadas con la exportación en una sola estructura RenderSettings .

import AVFoundation
import UIKit
import Photos

struct RenderSettings {

    var width: CGFloat = 1280
    var height: CGFloat = 720
    var fps: Int32 = 2   // 2 frames per second
    var avCodecKey = AVVideoCodecH264
    var videoFilename = "render"
    var videoFilenameExt = "mp4"

    var size: CGSize {
        return CGSize(width: width, height: height)
    }

    var outputURL: NSURL {
        // Use the CachesDirectory so the rendered video file sticks around as long as we need it to.
        // Using the CachesDirectory ensures the file won''t be included in a backup of the app.
        let fileManager = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
        if let tmpDirURL = try? fileManager.URLForDirectory(.CachesDirectory, inDomain: .UserDomainMask, appropriateForURL: nil, create: true) {
            return tmpDirURL.URLByAppendingPathComponent(videoFilename).URLByAppendingPathExtension(videoFilenameExt)
        }
        fatalError("URLForDirectory() failed")
    }
}

Parte 2: El ImageAnimator

La clase ImageAnimator conoce sus imágenes y utiliza la clase VideoWriter para realizar la representación. La idea es mantener el código de contenido de video separado del código de AVFoundation de bajo nivel. También agregué saveToLibrary() aquí como una función de clase que se llama al final de la cadena para guardar el video en la Biblioteca de fotos.

class ImageAnimator {

    // Apple suggests a timescale of 600 because it''s a multiple of standard video rates 24, 25, 30, 60 fps etc.
    static let kTimescale: Int32 = 600

    let settings: RenderSettings
    let videoWriter: VideoWriter
    var images: [UIImage]!

    var frameNum = 0

    class func saveToLibrary(videoURL: NSURL) {
        PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization { status in
            guard status == .Authorized else { return }

            PHPhotoLibrary.sharedPhotoLibrary().performChanges({
                PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetFromVideoAtFileURL(videoURL)
                }) { success, error in
                    if !success {
                        print("Could not save video to photo library:", error)
                    }
            }
        }
    }

    class func removeFileAtURL(fileURL: NSURL) {
        do {
            try NSFileManager.defaultManager().removeItemAtPath(fileURL.path!)
        }
        catch _ as NSError {
            // Assume file doesn''t exist.
        }
    }

    init(renderSettings: RenderSettings) {
        settings = renderSettings
        videoWriter = VideoWriter(renderSettings: settings)
        images = loadImages()
    }

    func render(completion: ()->Void) {

        // The VideoWriter will fail if a file exists at the URL, so clear it out first.
        ImageAnimator.removeFileAtURL(settings.outputURL)

        videoWriter.start()
        videoWriter.render(appendPixelBuffers) {
            ImageAnimator.saveToLibrary(self.settings.outputURL)
            completion()
        }

    }

    // Replace this logic with your own.
    func loadImages() -> [UIImage] {
        var images = [UIImage]()
        for index in 1...10 {
            let filename = "/(index).jpg"
            images.append(UIImage(named: filename)!)
        }
        return images
    }

    // This is the callback function for VideoWriter.render()
    func appendPixelBuffers(writer: VideoWriter) -> Bool {

        let frameDuration = CMTimeMake(Int64(ImageAnimator.kTimescale / settings.fps), ImageAnimator.kTimescale)

        while !images.isEmpty {

            if writer.isReadyForData == false {
                // Inform writer we have more buffers to write.
                return false
            }

            let image = images.removeFirst()
            let presentationTime = CMTimeMultiply(frameDuration, Int32(frameNum))
            let success = videoWriter.addImage(image, withPresentationTime: presentationTime)
            if success == false {
                fatalError("addImage() failed")
            }

            frameNum++
        }

        // Inform writer all buffers have been written.
        return true
    }

}

Parte 3: El VideoWriter

La clase VideoWriter realiza todo el levantamiento pesado de AVFoundation. Es principalmente un envoltorio alrededor de AVAssetWriter y AVAssetWriterInput . También contiene un código de fantasía escrito por mí que no sabe cómo traducir una imagen en un CVPixelBuffer .

class VideoWriter {

    let renderSettings: RenderSettings

    var videoWriter: AVAssetWriter!
    var videoWriterInput: AVAssetWriterInput!
    var pixelBufferAdaptor: AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor!

    var isReadyForData: Bool {
        return videoWriterInput?.readyForMoreMediaData ?? false
    }

    class func pixelBufferFromImage(image: UIImage, pixelBufferPool: CVPixelBufferPool, size: CGSize) -> CVPixelBuffer {

        var pixelBufferOut: CVPixelBuffer?

        let status = CVPixelBufferPoolCreatePixelBuffer(kCFAllocatorDefault, pixelBufferPool, &pixelBufferOut)
        if status != kCVReturnSuccess {
            fatalError("CVPixelBufferPoolCreatePixelBuffer() failed")
        }

        let pixelBuffer = pixelBufferOut!

        CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(pixelBuffer, 0)

        let data = CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddress(pixelBuffer)
        let rgbColorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB()
        let context = CGBitmapContextCreate(data, Int(size.width), Int(size.height),
            8, CVPixelBufferGetBytesPerRow(pixelBuffer), rgbColorSpace, CGImageAlphaInfo.PremultipliedFirst.rawValue)

        CGContextClearRect(context, CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height))

        let horizontalRatio = size.width / image.size.width
        let verticalRatio = size.height / image.size.height
        //aspectRatio = max(horizontalRatio, verticalRatio) // ScaleAspectFill
        let aspectRatio = min(horizontalRatio, verticalRatio) // ScaleAspectFit

        let newSize = CGSize(width: image.size.width * aspectRatio, height: image.size.height * aspectRatio)

        let x = newSize.width < size.width ? (size.width - newSize.width) / 2 : 0
        let y = newSize.height < size.height ? (size.height - newSize.height) / 2 : 0

        CGContextDrawImage(context, CGRectMake(x, y, newSize.width, newSize.height), image.CGImage)
        CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress(pixelBuffer, 0)

        return pixelBuffer
    }

    init(renderSettings: RenderSettings) {
        self.renderSettings = renderSettings
    }

    func start() {

        let avOutputSettings: [String: AnyObject] = [
            AVVideoCodecKey: renderSettings.avCodecKey,
            AVVideoWidthKey: NSNumber(float: Float(renderSettings.width)),
            AVVideoHeightKey: NSNumber(float: Float(renderSettings.height))
        ]

        func createPixelBufferAdaptor() {
            let sourcePixelBufferAttributesDictionary = [
                kCVPixelBufferPixelFormatTypeKey as String: NSNumber(unsignedInt: kCVPixelFormatType_32ARGB),
                kCVPixelBufferWidthKey as String: NSNumber(float: Float(renderSettings.width)),
                kCVPixelBufferHeightKey as String: NSNumber(float: Float(renderSettings.height))
            ]
            pixelBufferAdaptor = AVAssetWriterInputPixelBufferAdaptor(assetWriterInput: videoWriterInput,
                sourcePixelBufferAttributes: sourcePixelBufferAttributesDictionary)
        }

        func createAssetWriter(outputURL: NSURL) -> AVAssetWriter {
            guard let assetWriter = try? AVAssetWriter(URL: outputURL, fileType: AVFileTypeMPEG4) else {
                fatalError("AVAssetWriter() failed")
            }

            guard assetWriter.canApplyOutputSettings(avOutputSettings, forMediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo) else {
                fatalError("canApplyOutputSettings() failed")
            }

            return assetWriter
        }

        videoWriter = createAssetWriter(renderSettings.outputURL)
        videoWriterInput = AVAssetWriterInput(mediaType: AVMediaTypeVideo, outputSettings: avOutputSettings)

        if videoWriter.canAddInput(videoWriterInput) {
            videoWriter.addInput(videoWriterInput)
        }
        else {
            fatalError("canAddInput() returned false")
        }

        // The pixel buffer adaptor must be created before we start writing.
        createPixelBufferAdaptor()

        if videoWriter.startWriting() == false {
            fatalError("startWriting() failed")
        }

        videoWriter.startSessionAtSourceTime(kCMTimeZero)

        precondition(pixelBufferAdaptor.pixelBufferPool != nil, "nil pixelBufferPool")
    }

    func render(appendPixelBuffers: (VideoWriter)->Bool, completion: ()->Void) {

        precondition(videoWriter != nil, "Call start() to initialze the writer")

        let queue = dispatch_queue_create("mediaInputQueue", nil)
        videoWriterInput.requestMediaDataWhenReadyOnQueue(queue) {
            let isFinished = appendPixelBuffers(self)
            if isFinished {
                self.videoWriterInput.markAsFinished()
                self.videoWriter.finishWritingWithCompletionHandler() {
                    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
                        completion()
                    }
                }
            }
            else {
                // Fall through. The closure will be called again when the writer is ready.
            }
        }
    }

    func addImage(image: UIImage, withPresentationTime presentationTime: CMTime) -> Bool {

        precondition(pixelBufferAdaptor != nil, "Call start() to initialze the writer")

        let pixelBuffer = VideoWriter.pixelBufferFromImage(image, pixelBufferPool: pixelBufferAdaptor.pixelBufferPool!, size: renderSettings.size)
        return pixelBufferAdaptor.appendPixelBuffer(pixelBuffer, withPresentationTime: presentationTime)
    }

}

Parte 4: haz que suceda

Una vez que todo está en su lugar, estas son tus 3 líneas mágicas:

let settings = RenderSettings()
let imageAnimator = ImageAnimator(renderSettings: settings)
imageAnimator.render() {
    print("yes")
}

I use it together with screen capturing, to basically create a video of screen capturing, here''s the full story/complete example .

Answer 7

Just translated @Scott Raposa answer to swift3 (with some very little changes):

import AVFoundation

struct RenderSettings {

    var size : CGSize = .zero
    var fps: Int32 = 6   // frames per second

    var videoFilenameExt = "mp4"


    var outputURL: URL {
        // Use the CachesDirectory so the rendered video file sticks around as long as we need it to.
        // Using the CachesDirectory ensures the file won''t be included in a backup of the app.
        let fileManager = FileManager.default
        if let tmpDirURL = try? fileManager.url(for: .cachesDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: true) {

Uso:

let settings = VidWriter.videoSettings(width: cgImg.width, height: cgImg.height)

// Note: There should be no file at the targetUrl or nothing will be written.
self.vidWriter = VidWriter(url: targetUrl!, vidSettings: settings)
self.vidWriter.applyTimeWith(duration: durationPerFrame, frameNumber: images.count)

self.vidWriter.createMovieFrom(images: images, completion: { (finalUrl) in
    print("Completed")
})

Answer 9

Use AVAssetWriter to write images as movie. I already have answered here:- https://.com/a/19166876/1582217

Answer 10

Well this is a bit hard to be implemented in pure Objective-C....If you are developing for jailbroken devices , a good idea is to use the command-line tool ffmpeg from inside your app. it''s quite easy to create a movie from images with a command like:

ffmpeg -r 10 -b 1800 -i %03d.jpg test1800.mp4

Note that the images have to be named sequentially , and also be placed in the same directory. For more information take a look at: http://electron.mit.edu/~gsteele/ffmpeg/
