## PBJVision
`PBJVision` is a camera library for iOS that enables easy integration of special capture features and camera interface customizations in your iOS app. [Next Level](https://github.com/NextLevel/NextLevel) is the Swift counterpart.
[](https://travis-ci.org/piemonte/PBJVision)
[](http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/PBJVision/)
[](https://github.com/NextLevel/NextLevel/blob/master/LICENSE)
- Looking for a Swift version? Check out [Next Level](https://github.com/NextLevel/NextLevel).
- Looking for a video player? Check out [Player (Swift)](https://github.com/piemonte/player) and [PBJVideoPlayer (obj-c)](https://github.com/piemonte/PBJVideoPlayer).
### Features
- [x] touch-to-record video capture
- [x] slow motion capture (120 fps on [supported hardware](https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/))
- [x] photo capture
- [x] customizable user interface and gestural interactions
- [x] ghosting (onion skinning) of last recorded segment
- [x] flash/torch support
- [x] white balance, focus, and exposure adjustment support
- [x] mirroring support
Capture is also possible without having to use the touch-to-record gesture interaction as the sample project provides.
### About
This library was originally created at [DIY](https://diy.org/) as a fun means for kids to author video and share their [skills](https://diy.org//skills). The touch-to-record interaction was pioneered by [Vine](https://vine.co/) and [Instagram](https://instagram.com/).
Thanks to everyone who has contributed and helped make this a fun project and community.
## Quick Start
`PBJVision` is available and recommended for installation using the dependency manager [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org/).
To integrate, just add the following line to your `Podfile`:
```ruby
pod 'PBJVision'
```
## Usage
Import the header.
```objective-c
#import "PBJVision.h"
```
Setup the camera preview using `[[PBJVision sharedInstance] previewLayer]`.
```objective-c
// preview and AV layer
_previewView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
_previewView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
CGRect previewFrame = CGRectMake(0, 60.0f, CGRectGetWidth(self.view.frame), CGRectGetWidth(self.view.frame));
_previewView.frame = previewFrame;
_previewLayer = [[PBJVision sharedInstance] previewLayer];
_previewLayer.frame = _previewView.bounds;
_previewLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill;
[_previewView.layer addSublayer:_previewLayer];
```
If your view controller is managed by a Storyboard, keep the previewLayer updated for device sizes
```objective-c
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
_previewLayer.frame = _previewView.bounds;
}
```
Setup and configure the `PBJVision` controller, then start the camera preview.
```objective-c
- (void)_setup
{
_longPressGestureRecognizer.enabled = YES;
PBJVision *vision = [PBJVision sharedInstance];
vision.delegate = self;
vision.cameraMode = PBJCameraModeVideo;
vision.cameraOrientation = PBJCameraOrientationPortrait;
vision.focusMode = PBJFocusModeContinuousAutoFocus;
vision.outputFormat = PBJOutputFormatSquare;
[vision startPreview];
}
```
Start/pause/resume recording.
```objective-c
- (void)_handleLongPressGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
{
switch (gestureRecognizer.state) {
case UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan:
{
if (!_recording)
[[PBJVision sharedInstance] startVideoCapture];
else
[[PBJVision sharedInstance] resumeVideoCapture];
break;
}
case UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded:
case UIGestureRecognizerStateCancelled:
case UIGestureRecognizerStateFailed:
{
[[PBJVision sharedInstance] pauseVideoCapture];
break;
}
default:
break;
}
}
```
End recording.
```objective-c
[[PBJVision sharedInstance] endVideoCapture];
```
Handle the final video output or error accordingly.
```objective-c
- (void)vision:(PBJVision *)vision capturedVideo:(NSDictionary *)videoDict error:(NSError *)error
{
if (error && [error.domain isEqual:PBJVisionErrorDomain] && error.code == PBJVisionErrorCancelled) {
NSLog(@"recording session cancelled");
return;
} else if (error) {
NSLog(@"encounted an error in video capture (%@)", error);
return;
}
_currentVideo = videoDict;
NSString *videoPath = [_currentVideo objectForKey:PBJVisionVideoPathKey];
[_assetLibrary writeVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum:[NSURL URLWithString:videoPath] completionBlock:^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error1) {
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle: @"Video Saved!" message: @"Saved to the camera roll."
delegate:self
cancelButtonTitle:nil
otherButtonTitles:@"OK", nil];
[alert show];
}];
}
```
To specify an automatic end capture maximum duration, set the following property on the 'PBJVision' controller.
```objective-c
[[PBJVision sharedInstance] setMaximumCaptureDuration:CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(5, 600)]; // ~ 5 seconds
```
To adjust the video quality and compression bit rate, modify the following properties on the `PBJVision` controller.
```objective-c
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *captureSessionPreset;
@property (nonatomic) CGFloat videoBitRate;
@property (nonatomic) NSInteger audioBitRate;
@property (nonatomic) NSDictionary *additionalCompressionProperties;
```
