I want to make an overlay on camera of my iphone app.I have followed this tutorial
But it teaches about capturing the image,I need to implement it on recording the video.
In the tutorial it is simply
- (void)takePicture
{
[picker takePicture];
}
But I am not able to implement it on recording the video,Please help me with an example if you can
Now without overlay I am using this coding for recording the video[I wish to implement it with the above tutorial]

UIImagePickerController already has API for recording video. You can call
– startVideoCapture
– stopVideoCapture
to record video. Check the API

I have captured a video using objective c,however I am not able to save it in the iphone photos library.I dont want to use the AlAssets library,I want to use the image picker only.I have seen a lot of methods on stack overflow and other sites but they either use storage location path(which is not mentioned what it is) or they dont work.
This is my piece of code.
-(IBAction)Onclick:(id)sender
{
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController
alloc] init];
imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
imagePicker.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:(NSString *)
kUTTypeMovie];
imagePicker.delegate = self;
//UISaveVideoAtPath
imagePicker.allowsImageEditing = NO;
[self.view addSubview:imagePicker.view];
[imagePicker viewWillAppear:YES];
CGRect overlayFrame = CGRectMake(0, 380, 320, 44);
//UILabel *lbl=[[UILabel alloc]init];
UIView *baseView = [[[UIView alloc] init] autorelease];
baseView.backgroundColor =[UIColor greenColor];
//lbl.text=#"dfgfdgfd";
baseView.frame=overlayFrame;
//view.delegate = self;
//view.picker = picker;
//[view customize];
imagePicker.cameraOverlayView = baseView;
[self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
}
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
if ([mediaType isEqualToString:#"public.image"]){
UIImage *picture = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(picture, nil, nil, nil);
}
else if ([mediaType isEqualToString:#"public.movie"]){

// ALAssetsLibrary* library = [[[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init] autorelease];
// [library writeVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum:url
// completionBlock:^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error){/*notify of completion*/}];
UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum(url, nil, nil, nil);
}
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Try this:
- (void) imagePickerController: (UIImagePickerController *) picker
didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: (NSDictionary *) info
{
NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
[self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
// Handle a movie capture
if (CFStringCompare (( CFStringRef) mediaType, kUTTypeMovie, 0)

{
NSString *moviePath = [[info objectForKey:
UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] path];
if (UIVideoAtPathIsCompatibleWithSavedPhotosAlbum (moviePath))
{
UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum (moviePath,self, #selector(video:didFinishSavingWithError:contextInfo:), nil);
}
}
}
}

Hope it helps you.
Try this:

I am getting an error / crash on iPad only when using the following code, iPhone works fine.
It is basically when trying to load the gallery to pick an image.

Could anyone be so kind as to help with the code above ? I am guessing an if/else statement but have not the first idea of what it would be and where to place it.
Thanks in advance,

EDIT - Ok I now have it working the load from gallery now loads 'Photos' in a small window, where I can select, however there is no 'Select' or 'Choose' button, if I click the photo, there is no tick, to say it is selected, however it does select it, but to dismiss I click outside the window...

The error is very clear:
On iPad, UIImagePickerController must be presented via UIPopoverController'
You need to put the image picker in a popover controller when run on the iPad. This is true when the sourceType is for the photo library. The camera based image picker can be shown as a full screen modal view controller.
This isn't an issue on the iPhone because the iPhone doesn't support the UIPopoverController.
The sample app PrintPhoto demonstrates how to show the image picker in a popover. Specifically, see PrintPhotoViewController.m.
Do something like this:
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
//present as a pop over vc
} else {
//present as a modal vc
}
To present a popover you might use this method
- (void)presentPopoverFromRect:(CGRect)rect inView:(UIView *)view permittedArrowDirections:(UIPopoverArrowDirection)arrowDirections animated:(BOOL)animated
You can read the documentation at this link link
I am having awkward problem in using the ios camera from a action sheet: When the user touches the "picture button" an action sheet shows up with two options (to use a photo from the photo library or to take a picture with the camera).
Whatever option I choose, nothing happens, but when I select the media type again, it works.
Bellow is my code:

[appDelegate hideTabBar];
UIActionSheet *action = [[UIActionSheet alloc]
initWithTitle: nil
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:#"Fechar"
destructiveButtonTitle: nil
otherButtonTitles:#"Galeria", #"Tirar Foto", nil];
[action showFromTabBar: appDelegate.tabController.tabBar];
}

UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];

imagePicker.delegate = self;

imagePicker.mediaTypes = mediaTypes;
imagePicker.allowsEditing = NO;

Could anyone help me with this?
Thanks.
I got it.
Basically it was a memory leak issue: I was switching views adding subviews in the super view (not in the current view) but I was not removing the old one from the super view, so I got a memory leak ;)
May be this question is too easy or I did not know how easy it will be.
I have an actionsheet to allow the user to choose how if they want to take a photo or select from camera.
The app will save user taken photo regardless is selected from camera roll or taken from camera. Am I missing something?
Thanks for reading my question.

you need to implement UIImagePickerControllerDelegate
Check this function
(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{}
NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
if ([mediaType isEqualToString:#"public.image"]){
UIImage *editedImage = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
}
Now use this UIImage
To save this Image You have to specify a path
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *imagePath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"photo.png"]];
//COnvert it to NSData before saving and then save it
NSData *webData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(editedImage);
[webData writeToFile:imagePath atomically:YES];
I am using ImagePickerController for Video Capturing. I need to save the capturing video as image also.
So I selected AVCaptureSession for capturing Images. I'm not able to run AVCaptureSession as well as ImagePickerController. So I need to give the ImagePickerController as input to the AVCaptureSession.
But I don't know how to do that. Please Help me.. and suggest me for the right way.
I found only these two. Hope its helps.

UIImagePickerController: Getting image capture from video
I was having same issue.. I did work on image and video and used below code for image capturing:
- (void) snapImage: (id) sendern
{
UIImagePickerController *ipc = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
ipc.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
ipc.delegate = self;
ipc.allowsImageEditing = YES;
[self presentModalViewController:ipc animated:YES];
}
And for video recording i used below code:
- (void) recordVideo: (id) sender
{
UIImagePickerController *ipc = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
ipc.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
ipc.delegate = self;
ipc.allowsEditing = YES;
ipc.videoQuality = UIImagePickerControllerQualityTypeMedium;
ipc.videoMaximumDuration = 30.0f; // 30 seconds
ipc.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"public.movie"];
// ipc.mediaTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"public.movie", #"public.image", nil];
[self presentModalViewController:ipc animated:YES];
}
Hope will help you both code snippets.

The Apple docs and sample code related to AVFoundation has several mistakes. See iOS 4: Take photos with live preview using AVFoundation for code that actually captures images from a live preview.
