Question

I\'m trying to get thumbnail from video and show it in my tableview. Here is my code:

- (UIImage *)imageFromVideoURL:(NSURL *)contentURL {
    AVAsset *asse         


        

Answer 1

Just use this code.. Pass your video URL and get an image.

+(UIImage *)getPlaceholderImageFromVideo:(NSString *)videoURL {
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:videoURL];
    AVAsset *asset = [AVAsset assetWithURL:url];
    AVAssetImageGenerator *imageGenerator = [[AVAssetImageGenerator alloc] initWithAsset:asset];
    CMTime time = [asset duration];
    time.value = 0;
    CGImageRef imageRef = [imageGenerator copyCGImageAtTime:time actualTime:NULL error:NULL];
    UIImage *thumbnail = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef];
    CGImageRelease(imageRef);
    return thumbnail;
}

Hope, this is what you're looking for. Any concern get back to me. :)
