Use this below code,

AVAsset *avAsset = [AVURLAsset URLAssetWithURL:videoURL options:nil];

if ([[avAsset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] count] > 0)
{
     AVAssetImageGenerator *imageGenerator =[AVAssetImageGenerator assetImageGeneratorWithAsset:avAsset];
     Float64 durationSeconds = CMTimeGetSeconds([avAsset duration]);
     CMTime midpoint = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(durationSeconds/2.0, 600);
     NSError *error;
     CMTime actualTime;

     CGImageRef halfWayImage = [imageGenerator copyCGImageAtTime:kCMTimeZero actualTime:&actualTime error:&error];


     if (halfWayImage != NULL)
     {

          NSString *actualTimeString = (NSString *)CFBridgingRelease(CMTimeCopyDescription(NULL, actualTime));
          NSString *requestedTimeString = (NSString *)CFBridgingRelease(CMTimeCopyDescription(NULL, midpoint));
          NSLog(@"Got halfWayImage: Asked for %@, got %@", requestedTimeString, actualTimeString);

          UIImage *img=[UIImage imageWithCGImage:halfWayImage];

          self.myimageView.image= img; //img is thumbnail image ;

      }

}

don't forget #import <AssetsLibrary/AssetsLibrary.h> header file

the above code is working for me, hope its helpful for you
