If you are saving it in a local directory first, then you can save it as..

    ALAssetsLibrary *assetLibrary = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];
    [assetLibrary writeVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum:url completionBlock:^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error){
        if(error) {
           NSLog(@"error while saving to camera roll %@",[error localizedDescription]);        
        } else {
            //For removing the back up copy from the documents directory           
            NSError *removeError = nil;
            [[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtURL:url error:&removeError];
            NSLog(@"%@",[removeError localizedDescription]);
        }
    }];
