Announcing New Pro Course: Video with AVFoundation!

Announcing new Pro Course: Video with AVFoundation!

If you haven't yet had a chance to work on an iOS app that integrates video, you're missing out! AVFoundation has a ton of power under that hood that allows you do some stunning things in iOS 14.

Import videos, manage video players, picture-in-picture and even merge videos in our new Video with AVFoundation course!

Keep reading to hear more about it from course instructor Brian Moakley:

Why should I take your Video with AVFoundation course?

"This course teaches students to integrate movie playback, photo taking and video recording in an app.

This allows an app to be a rich multimedia experience and when combined with technologies such Core ML or Core Image, can make for unique app experiences."

How can this course help with a common pain point in iOS development?

"This course covers two specific pain points.

First, with iOS 14, a new media picking view controller was released that is privacy focused with a lot of user facing features. This course covers the basics of integrating this controller in your SwiftUI app. The course also shows how easy it is to now use video by way of the VideoPlayer control."

Can you please share a cool AVFoundation tip with us?

"While not covered in the course, you access each frame from the video stream and apply effects. By simply running the video stream through Core Image, you can make the video stream black and white, add some weird effects or even draw on the image.

The same goes with Core ML. With a working model, you can use machine learning to identify various objects being recorded (and that's just the beginning)!"

Is there anything else we should know about your Video with AVFoundation course?

"AVFoundation is deep rich, API that doesn't allow you to display video content, but you can dynamically create entirely new videos content on the fly. You can think of it as your own programatic video editor!"
