iPhone Watermark on recorded Video.

In my Application I need to capture a video and Put a watermark on that video. The watermark should be Text(Time and Notes). I saw a code using "QTKit" Frame work. However I read that the framework is not available for iPhone.

Thanks in Advance.

Use AVFoundation. I would suggest grabbing frames with AVCaptureVideoDataOutput, then overlaying the captured frame with the watermark image, and finally writing captured and processed frames to a file user AVAssetWriter.

Search around stack overflow, there are a ton of fantastic examples detailing how to do each of these things I have mentioned. I haven't seen any that give code examples for exactly the effect you would like, but you should be able to mix and match pretty easily.

EDIT:

Take a look at these links:

iPhone: AVCaptureSession capture output crashing (AVCaptureVideoDataOutput) - this post might be helpful just by nature of containing relevant code.

AVCaptureDataOutput will return images as CMSampleBufferRefs. Convert them to CGImageRefs using this code:

    - (CGImageRef) imageFromSampleBuffer:(CMSampleBufferRef) sampleBuffer // Create a CGImageRef from sample buffer data
{

    CVImageBufferRef imageBuffer = CMSampleBufferGetImageBuffer(sampleBuffer); 
    CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(imageBuffer,0);        // Lock the image buffer 

    uint8_t *baseAddress = (uint8_t *)CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddressOfPlane(imageBuffer, 0);   // Get information of the image 
    size_t bytesPerRow = CVPixelBufferGetBytesPerRow(imageBuffer); 
    size_t width = CVPixelBufferGetWidth(imageBuffer); 
    size_t height = CVPixelBufferGetHeight(imageBuffer); 
    CGColorSpaceRef colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB(); 

    CGContextRef newContext = CGBitmapContextCreate(baseAddress, width, height, 8, bytesPerRow, colorSpace, kCGBitmapByteOrder32Little | kCGImageAlphaPremultipliedFirst); 
    CGImageRef newImage = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(newContext); 
    CGContextRelease(newContext); 

    CGColorSpaceRelease(colorSpace); 
    CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress(imageBuffer,0); 
    /* CVBufferRelease(imageBuffer); */  // do not call this!

    return newImage;
}

From there you would convert to a UIImage,

  UIImage *img = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:yourCGImage];  

Then use

[img drawInRect:CGRectMake(x,y,height,width)]; 

to draw the frame to a context, draw a PNG of the watermark over it, and then add the processed images to your output video using AVAssetWriter. I would suggest adding them in real time so you're not filling up memory with tons of UIImages.

How do I export UIImage array as a movie? - this post shows how to add the UIImages you have processed to a video for a given duration.

This should get you well on your way to watermarking your videos. Remember to practice good memory management, because leaking images that are coming in at 20-30fps is a great way to crash the app.
