This library solves that problem by offering granular control over video and audio encoding parameters. + +### Benefits +- Eliminates the complexity of manually configuring `AVAssetWriter` and `AVAssetReader` +- Provides an intuitive API for media asset conversion +- Enables precise control over output video and audio quality +- Supports a wide range of encoding scenarios, from simple conversions to advanced media transformations + +The library allows developers to easily specify custom settings for video codec, resolution, bitrate, audio channels, sample rate, and more, making media processing more flexible and tailored to specific application requirements. + +## Getting Started, Installation, and Setup + +### Prerequisites + +- iOS 6.0 or later +- Xcode +- ARC (Automatic Reference Counting) enabled + +### Installation + +#### CocoaPods + +Add the following to your `Podfile`: + +```ruby +pod 'SDAVAssetExportSession' +``` + +Then run: + +```bash +pod install +``` + +#### Manual Installation + +1. Clone the repository +2. Copy `SDAVAssetExportSession.h` and `SDAVAssetExportSession.m` into your project +3. Ensure the files are added to your project's target + +### Quick Start + +```objective-c +// Create an export session with your asset +SDAVAssetExportSession *encoder = [SDAVAssetExportSession.alloc initWithAsset:anAsset]; + +// Configure output settings +encoder.outputFileType = AVFileTypeMPEG4; +encoder.outputURL = outputFileURL; + +// Set custom video settings +encoder.videoSettings = @{ + AVVideoCodecKey: AVVideoCodecH264, + AVVideoWidthKey: @1920, + AVVideoHeightKey: @1080, + AVVideoCompressionPropertiesKey: @{ + AVVideoAverageBitRateKey: @6000000, + AVVideoProfileLevelKey: AVVideoProfileLevelH264High40, + }, +}; + +// Set custom audio settings +encoder.audioSettings = @{ + AVFormatIDKey: @(kAudioFormatMPEG4AAC), + AVNumberOfChannelsKey: @2, + AVSampleRateKey: @44100, + AVEncoderBitRateKey: @128000, +}; + +// Export the video +[encoder exportAsynchronouslyWithCompletionHandler:^{ + if (encoder.status == AVAssetExportSessionStatusCompleted) { + NSLog(@"Video export succeeded"); + } else if (encoder.status == AVAssetExportSessionStatusCancelled) { + NSLog(@"Video export cancelled"); + } else { + NSLog(@"Video export failed with error: %@ (%d)", encoder.error.localizedDescription, encoder.error.code); + } +}]; +``` + +### Configuration Options + +- `outputFileType`: Specify the output file format (e.g., `AVFileTypeMPEG4`) +- `outputURL`: Define the destination file URL for the exported asset +- `videoSettings`: Customize video encoding parameters +- `audioSettings`: Customize audio encoding parameters + +### Supported Platforms + +- iOS 6.0 and later +- Supports all iOS devices + +## Project Structure + +The project is a lightweight Objective-C library for video and audio export, primarily consisting of a single custom class `SDAVAssetExportSession`. The repository contains the following key files: + +#### Source Files +- `SDAVAssetExportSession.h`: Header file defining the interface for the custom export session class +- `SDAVAssetExportSession.m`: Implementation of the export session functionality +- `SDAVAssetExportSession.podspec`: CocoaPods specification file for library distribution + +#### Metadata and Legal Files +- `LICENSE`: Contains the MIT license text for the project +- `README.md`: Project documentation and usage instructions +- `.gitignore`: Specifies intentionally untracked files to ignore + +#### Key Components +The library provides a flexible drop-in replacement for `AVAssetExportSession`, offering granular control over audio and video export settings. The primary class `SDAVAssetExportSession` allows developers to customize video and audio encoding parameters beyond the default presets provided by Apple's `AVAssetExportSession`. + +## Technologies Used + +#### Languages +- Objective-C + +#### Frameworks +- Foundation +- AVFoundation + +#### Core Technologies +- iOS SDK (minimum version 6.0) +- AVAsset Processing +- Video and Audio Encoding/Transcoding + +#### Key Libraries and Components +- AVAssetReader +- AVAssetWriter +- AVVideoComposition +- AVAudioMix + +#### Development Tools +- CocoaPods (as evidenced by the .podspec file) + +#### Supported Platforms +- iOS (version 6.0 and above) + +## Additional Notes + +### Performance Considerations + +When using `SDAVAssetExportSession`, keep in mind that video and audio transcoding can be computationally intensive. The library provides granular control over encoding settings, which allows for optimizing performance and output quality. + +### Encoding Flexibility + +The library allows for extensive customization of video and audio encoding parameters: +- Specify custom video codecs, resolution, and bitrate +- Configure audio channel count, sample rate, and encoding format +- Support for partial asset export using `timeRange` property + +### Network Optimization + +The `shouldOptimizeForNetworkUse` property enables preparing the output file for streaming, which can improve playback performance on networks with varying bandwidth. + +### Error Handling + +The export process provides detailed error information through the `error` property. Always check the export session's status and error details in the completion handler to handle potential issues gracefully. + +### Delegate Methods + +For advanced use cases, implement the `SDAVAssetExportSessionDelegate` protocol to gain more control over frame rendering during the export process. + +### Compatibility + +Designed as a drop-in replacement for `AVAssetExportSession`, compatible with iOS media processing workflows that require fine-grained control over asset export. + +## Contributing + +We welcome contributions to SDAVAssetExportSession!
