Hello,
Basically, I am reading and writing an asset.
To simplify, I am just reading the asset and rewriting it into an output video without any modifications.
However, I want to add a fade-out effect to the last three seconds of the output video.
I don’t know how to do this.
So far, before adding the CMSampleBuffer to the output video, I tried reducing its volume using an extension on CMSampleBuffer.
In the extension, I passed 0.4 for testing, aiming to reduce the video's overall volume by 60%.
My question is:
How can I directly adjust the volume of a CMSampleBuffer?
Here is the extension:
extension CMSampleBuffer {
func adjustVolume(by factor: Float) -> CMSampleBuffer? {
guard let blockBuffer = CMSampleBufferGetDataBuffer(self) else { return nil }
var length = 0
var dataPointer: UnsafeMutablePointer<Int8>?
guard CMBlockBufferGetDataPointer(blockBuffer, atOffset: 0, lengthAtOffsetOut: nil, totalLengthOut: &length, dataPointerOut: &dataPointer) == kCMBlockBufferNoErr else { return nil }
guard let dataPointer = dataPointer else { return nil }
let sampleCount = length / MemoryLayout<Int16>.size
dataPointer.withMemoryRebound(to: Int16.self, capacity: sampleCount) { pointer in
for i in 0..<sampleCount {
let sample = Float(pointer[i])
pointer[i] = Int16(sample * factor)
}
}
return self
}
}
