iOS Video Editing - Is it possible to merge (side by side not one after other) two video files into one using iOS 4 AVFoundation classes?

Question

I know you could merge multiple clips and create a single video by appending one after other using AVFoundation classes- AVURLAsset, AVMutableComposition, AVMutableComposit

Answer 1

i found this link when im trying to do the same thing , But for me its not side by side , its video top of another video, You can do the same thing by this link

Answer 2

Yes it is possible to merge 2 videos:
1. Add both assets to an AVMutableComposition at start time 0.
2. Set the preferred Transform to the tracks, in this example scale transform.

    - (void) mergeVideos{
    ///... after getting hold or your assets....firstAsset, secondAsset

    AVMutableComposition* mixComposition = [AVMutableComposition composition];

    AVMutableCompositionTrack *firstTrack = [mixComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo 
                                                                      preferredTracfirst:kCMPersistentTracfirst_Invalid];
    [firstTrack insertTimeRange:CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, firstAsset.duration) 
                        ofTrack:[[firstAsset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] objectAtIndex:0] 
                         atTime:kCMTimeZero error:nil];

    AVMutableCompositionTrack *secondTrack = [mixComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo 
                                                                       preferredTracfirst:kCMPersistentTracfirst_Invalid];

    [secondTrack insertTimeRange:CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, secondAsset.duration)
                         ofTrack:[[secondAsset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] objectAtIndex:0] 
                          atTime:kCMTimeZero error:nil];    

    [secondTrack setPreferredTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.25f,0.25f)]; 

    //... export video here...

}
