I improved on @ricardopereira and @ColossalChris code. Added video to the extension, and added another extension on top of PHAsset to get rid of the compilation errors. Works in Swift 2.1.

Sample usage:

#import "Yourtargetname-Swift.h"//important!
NSURL *videoURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:PATH_TO_VIDEO];

[PHPhotoLibrary saveVideo:videoURL albumName:@"my album" completion:^(PHAsset * asset) {
    NSLog(@"success");
    NSLog(@"asset%lu",(unsigned long)asset.pixelWidth);
}];

Import both swift files: https://github.com/kv2/PHPhotoLibrary-PhotoAsset.swift

It is usable in objective-c as long as you import the swift header for your target (see the ViewController.m file).
