NextLevelSessionExporter 🔄

NextLevelSessionExporter is an export and transcode media library for iOS written in Swift.

The library provides customizable audio and video encoding options unlike AVAssetExportSession and without having to learn the intricacies of AVFoundation. It was a port of SDAVAssetExportSession with inspiration from SCAssetExportSession – which are great obj-c alternatives.

Quick Start

# CocoaPods

pod "NextLevelSessionExporter", "~> 0.4.5"

# Carthage

github "nextlevel/NextLevelSessionExporter" ~> 0.4.5

# Swift PM

let package = Package(
    dependencies: [
        .Package(url: "https://github.com/nextlevel/NextLevelSessionExporter", majorVersion: 0)
    ]
)

Alternatively, drop the source files into your Xcode project.

Example

Simply use the AVAsset extension or create and use an instance of NextLevelSessionExporter directly.

let tmpURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory(), isDirectory: true)
    .appendingPathComponent(ProcessInfo().globallyUniqueString)
    .appendingPathExtension("mp4")
exporter.outputURL = tmpURL

let compressionDict: [String: Any] = [
    AVVideoAverageBitRateKey: NSNumber(integerLiteral: 6000000),
    AVVideoProfileLevelKey: AVVideoProfileLevelH264HighAutoLevel as String,
]
let videoOutputConfig = [
    AVVideoCodecKey: AVVideoCodec.h264,
    AVVideoWidthKey: NSNumber(integerLiteral: 1920),
    AVVideoHeightKey: NSNumber(integerLiteral: 1080),
    AVVideoScalingModeKey: AVVideoScalingModeResizeAspectFill,
    AVVideoCompressionPropertiesKey: compressionDict
]
let audioOutputConfig = [
    AVFormatIDKey: kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC,
    AVEncoderBitRateKey: NSNumber(integerLiteral: 128000),
    AVNumberOfChannelsKey: NSNumber(integerLiteral: 2),
    AVSampleRateKey: NSNumber(value: Float(44100))
]

let asset = AVAsset(url: Bundle.main.url(forResource: "TestVideo", withExtension: "mov")!)
asset.nextlevel_export(outputURL: tmpURL, videoOutputConfiguration: videoOutputConfig, audioOutputConfiguration: audioOutputConfig)

Alternatively, you can use NextLevelSessionExporter directly.

let exporter = NextLevelSessionExporter(withAsset: asset)
exporter.outputFileType = AVFileType.mp4
let tmpURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: NSTemporaryDirectory(), isDirectory: true)
    .appendingPathComponent(ProcessInfo().globallyUniqueString)
    .appendingPathExtension("mp4")
exporter.outputURL = tmpURL

let compressionDict: [String: Any] = [
    AVVideoAverageBitRateKey: NSNumber(integerLiteral: 6000000),
    AVVideoProfileLevelKey: AVVideoProfileLevelH264HighAutoLevel as String,
]
exporter.videoOutputConfiguration = [
    AVVideoCodecKey: AVVideoCodec.h264,
    AVVideoWidthKey: NSNumber(integerLiteral: 1920),
    AVVideoHeightKey: NSNumber(integerLiteral: 1080),
    AVVideoScalingModeKey: AVVideoScalingModeResizeAspectFill,
    AVVideoCompressionPropertiesKey: compressionDict
]
exporter.audioOutputConfiguration = [
    AVFormatIDKey: kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC,
    AVEncoderBitRateKey: NSNumber(integerLiteral: 128000),
    AVNumberOfChannelsKey: NSNumber(integerLiteral: 2),
    AVSampleRateKey: NSNumber(value: Float(44100))
]

exporter.export(progressHandler: { (progress) in
    print(progress)
}, completionHandler: { result in
    switch result {
    case .success(let status):
        switch status {
        case .completed:
            print("NextLevelSessionExporter, export completed, \(exporter.outputURL?.description ?? "")")
            break
        default:
            print("NextLevelSessionExporter, did not complete")
            break
        }
        break
    case .failure(let error):
        print("NextLevelSessionExporter, failed to export \(error)")
        break
    }
})
