I want to use AVAssetWriter to output video files with a constant FPS (CFR) or variable bitrate (VBR).
As far as I could search, I couldn't find out.
How do I implement the settings?

Hello Apple Engineers,
Specific Issue:
I am working on a video recording feature in my SwiftUI app, and I am trying to record 4K60 video in ProRes Log format using the iPhone's internal storage. Here's what I have tried so far:
I am using AVCaptureSession with AVCaptureMovieFileOutput and configuring the session to support 4K resolution and ProRes codec.
The sessionPreset is set to .inputPriority, and the video device is configured with settings such as disabling HDR to prepare for Log.
However, when attempting to record 4K60 ProRes video, I get the error: "Capturing 4k60 with ProRes codec on this device is supported only on external storage device."
This error seems to imply that 4K60 ProRes recording is restricted to external storage devices. But I am trying to achieve this internally on devices such as the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has native support for ProRes encoding.
Here are my questions:
Is it technically possible to record 4K60 ProRes Log video internally on supported iPhones (for example: iPhone 15 Pro Max)?
There are some 3rd apps (i.e. Blackmagic 👍🏻) that can save 4K60 ProRes Log video on iPhone internally. If internal saving is supported, what additional configuration is needed for the AVCaptureSession or other technique to bypass this limitation?
If anyone has successfully saved 4K60 ProRes Log video on iPhone internal storage, your guidance would be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your help!
when I played a local video(I downloaded it to the sandbox),KVO the AVPlayerItem status is AVPlayerItemStatusFailed and error is Error Domain=AVFoundationErrorDomain Code=-11800 "这项操作无法完成" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=发生未知错误(24), NSLocalizedDescription=这项操作无法完成, NSUnderlyingError=0x3004137e0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=24 "Too many open files"}}
why?

Hi everyone,
I'm developing a customization tool in which our customer can upload a mp3 or mp4 file that will be scannable through our AR application. On desktop and Android, this is working perfectly. For some reason however, on iPhone we're unable to load most of the video files. I've checked the clips, and they are .mov/h.264 files which are supported by iPhone.
We're currently not sure how we can fix this issue to allow customers that own an iPhone to upload clips to our website.
Any tips in the right direction are more than welcome.
thanks in advance!
I am building a video conferencing app using LiveKit in Flutter and want to implement Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode on iOS. My goal is to display a view showing the speaker's initials or avatar during PiP mode. I successfully implemented this functionality on Android but am struggling to achieve it on iOS.
I am using a MethodChannel to communicate with the native iOS code. Here's the Flutter-side code:
import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
class PipController {
static const _channel = MethodChannel('pip_channel');
static Future<void> startPiP() async {
try {
await _channel.invokeMethod('enterPiP');
} catch (e) {
if (kDebugMode) {
print("Error starting PiP: $e");
}
}
}
static Future<void> stopPiP() async {
try {
await _channel.invokeMethod('exitPiP');
} catch (e) {
if (kDebugMode) {
print("Error stopping PiP: $e");
}
}
}
}
On the iOS side, I am using AVPictureInPictureController. Since it requires an AVPlayerLayer, I had to include a dummy video URL to initialize the AVPlayer. However, this results in the dummy video’s audio playing in the background, but no view is displayed in PiP mode.
Here’s my iOS code:
import Flutter
import UIKit
import AVKit
@main
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
var pipController: AVPictureInPictureController?
var playerLayer: AVPlayerLayer?
override func application(
_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
) -> Bool {
let controller: FlutterViewController = window?.rootViewController as! FlutterViewController
let pipChannel = FlutterMethodChannel(name: "pip_channel", binaryMessenger: controller.binaryMessenger)
pipChannel.setMethodCallHandler { [weak self] (call: FlutterMethodCall, result: @escaping FlutterResult) in
if call.method == "enterPiP" {
self?.startPictureInPicture(result: result)
} else if call.method == "exitPiP" {
self?.stopPictureInPicture(result: result)
} else {
result(FlutterMethodNotImplemented)
}
}
GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
}
private func startPictureInPicture(result: @escaping FlutterResult) {
guard AVPictureInPictureController.isPictureInPictureSupported() else {
result(FlutterError(code: "UNSUPPORTED", message: "PiP is not supported on this device.", details: nil))
return
}
// Set up the AVPlayer
let player = AVPlayer(url: URL(string: "http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4")!)
let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
self.playerLayer = playerLayer
// Create a dummy view
let dummyView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 1, height: 1))
dummyView.isHidden = true
window?.rootViewController?.view.addSubview(dummyView)
dummyView.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
playerLayer.frame = dummyView.bounds
// Initialize PiP Controller
pipController = AVPictureInPictureController(playerLayer: playerLayer)
pipController?.delegate = self
// Start playback and PiP
player.play()
pipController?.startPictureInPicture()
print("Picture-in-Picture started")
result(nil)
}
private func stopPictureInPicture(result: @escaping FlutterResult) {
guard let pipController = pipController, pipController.isPictureInPictureActive else {
result(FlutterError(code: "NOT_ACTIVE", message: "PiP is not currently active.", details: nil))
return
}
pipController.stopPictureInPicture()
playerLayer = nil
self.pipController = nil
result(nil)
}
}
extension AppDelegate: AVPictureInPictureControllerDelegate {
func pictureInPictureControllerDidStartPictureInPicture(_ pictureInPictureController: AVPictureInPictureController) {
print("PiP started")
}
func pictureInPictureControllerDidStopPictureInPicture(_ pictureInPictureController: AVPictureInPictureController) {
print("PiP stopped")
}
}
Questions:
How can I implement PiP mode on iOS without using a video URL (or AVPlayerLayer)?
Is there a way to display a custom UIView (like a speaker’s initials or an avatar) in PiP mode instead of requiring a video?
Why does PiP not display any view, even though the dummy video URL is playing in the background?
I am new to iOS development and would greatly appreciate any guidance or alternative approaches to achieve this functionality. Thank you!
I've seen the Multiview feature on tvOS that displays a small grid icon when available. However, I only see this functionality in VisionOS using the AVMultiviewManager. Does a different name refer to this feature on tvOS?

I am developing a macOS 15 MediaExtension plugin to enable additional codecs and container formats in AVFoundation
My Plugin is sort of working, but i'd like to debug the XPC process that AVFoundation 'hoists' for me from the calling app (ie - the process hosting my plugin instance that is managing the MESampleBuffer protocol calls for example)
Is there a method to configure XCode for interactive attaching to this background process for interactive debugging?
Right now I have to use Console + Print which is not fun or productive.
Does Apple have a working example of a MediaExtension anywhere?
This is an exciting API that is very under-documented.
I'm willing to spend a Code Review 'credit' for this, but my issues are not quite focused.
Any assistance is highly appreciated!
After 18.2 IOS update, videos are not playing in Netflix, Amazon Prime and youtube

Hi I'm working on a project that require video frame PTS to be consistent between original video and a transcoded one. It's working fairly well on regular mp4, however if I set preferredOutputSegmentInterval to have generate a fMP4 output, even I specified the initialSegmentStartTime as 0, it always add one frame pts offset to all frames.
For example: if I use the code sample provided by Apple: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10011/?time=406, useffprobe -select_streams v:0 -show_entries packet=pts_time -of csv ~/Downloads/fmp4/prog_index.m3u8 to display the pts of the output, it doesn't start from 0, but has some one frame pts offset. I also tried open with MP4Box, it also shows the first frames dts and cts are not start from 0.
However, if I use AVAssetReader to read the same output video, and get the PTS from 1st frame, it's returning 0. So I can't use it to calculate the pts difference between 2 videos neither.
Can I get some help to understand why there is difference between AVAssetWriter/Reader fMP4's pts and others like ffprobe?
We integrate with FCP X using a custom share destination and the Apple Script interface. This has been working fine until the the recent version 11 update of FCP X.
With this update we are no longer receiving the open event when the export has completed. We get the apple event to creat the Asset and the file is exported to the location we set in the response. There is just no open event after that. I suspect something is wrong with our scripting support but I have no idea what or how to troubleshoot.
This works fine in 10.8.1 and below.
Hello,
I’m experiencing an issue with video playback in my Javascript (SvelteKit) application using Capacitor. The video plays and loops correctly on Android and web browsers (including Safari) but stops unexpectedly after a few iterations on iOS native App.
<video src={videoPath} autoplay muted loop playsinline
class="h-auto w-full max-w-full object-cover"></video>
Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have insights into what might be causing this behavior on iOS?
Any suggestions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Maybe it has something to do with the iOS power saving policy?
Thank you in advance for your help!
I’m experiencing a crash at runtime when trying to extract audio from a video. This issue occurs on both iOS 18 and earlier versions. The crash is caused by the following error:

Hey - I am developing an app that uses the camera for recording video. I put the ability to choose a framerate and resolution and all combinations work perfectly fine, except for 4k 120fps for the new iPhone 16 pro. This just shows black on the preview. I tried to record even though the preview was black, but the recording is also just a black screen. Is there anything special that needs to be done in the camera setup for 4k 120fps to work? I have my camera setup code attached. Is it possible this is a bug in Apple's code, since this works with every other combination (1080p up to 240fps and 4k up to 60fps)?
Thanks so much for the help.

Overlay changes color in HDR video When I’m using trying to add an overlay to an image with AVMutableVideoComposition, When the video is in HDR the overlay colors are changing and white becomes grey screen shot from original HDR video result from the code with the wrong overlay colorthe result when reducing to SDR (the right overlay color)

When reducing the HDR to SDR it keeps the right color of the overlay with, but than it reduces the HDR effect which I want to keep

We have a Push To Talk application which allow user to record video and audio.
When user is recording a video using AVCaptureSession and receive's an Push To Talk call, from moment the Push To Talk call is received the audio in the video which is being captured is stopped while the video capture is still in progress.
Here after the PTT call is completed, we have tried restarting the audio session, there are no errors that are getting printed but we still don't see the audio getting restarted in video capture.
We have also tried to add a new input for AVCaptureSession we are receiving error that is resulting in video capture stopping, error mentioned below:

Real-time processing of HDR data requires processing of video frame data (such as filters), ensuring that the processing chain supports 10-bit color depth and HDR metadata. And use imagesBuffer to object tracking, etc.
How to solve this problem?
I'm experiencing an unexpected behavior with AVURLAsset and cookies. When setting cookies through AVURLAssetHTTPCookiesKey option, they seem to be sent only on the initial request but not on retry attempts.
Here's my current implementation:
let cookieProperties: [HTTPCookiePropertyKey: Any] = [
.name: "sessionCookie",
.value: "testValue",
.domain: url.host ?? "",
.path: "/",
.secure: true
]
if let cookie = HTTPCookie(properties: cookieProperties) {
let asset = AVURLAsset(url: url, options: [
AVURLAssetHTTPCookiesKey: [cookie],
])
}
According to the documentation, AVURLAssetHTTPCookiesKey should apply the cookies to all requests made by this asset. However, when the initial request fails and AVPlayer retries, the cookies are not included in subsequent requests.
Only when I store the cookie with HTTPCookieStorage.shared.setCookie, then it persists.
Questions:
Is this the expected behavior?
If not, what could be causing the cookies to not persist for retry attempts?
Is using HTTPCookieStorage.shared the recommended approach instead?
Environment:
iOS 16+
Using AVPlayer with AVURLAsset
Streaming HLS content
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve tried both AVCaptureVideoDataOutputSampleBufferDelegate (captureOutput) and AVCaptureDataOutputSynchronizerDelegate (dataOutputSynchronizer), but the number of depth frames and saved timestamps is significantly lower than the number of frames in the .mp4 file written by AVAssetWriter.
In my code, I save:
Timestamps for each frame to a metadata file
Depth frames to a binary file
Video to an .mp4 file
If I record a 4-second video at 30fps, the .mp4 file correctly plays for 4 seconds, but the number of stored timestamps and depth frames is much lower—around 70 frames instead of the expected 120.
Does anyone know why this mismatch happens?
