Glimpse is a simple library that allows you to create videos from UIViews. It records animations and actions as they happen by taking screen shots of a UIView in a series and then creating a quicktime video and saving it to your app’s document folder.
To setup Glimpse, add the Glimpse project file to your project or workspace. Import <Glimpse/Glimpse.h> where you want to use it.
Glimpse only uses 2 methods that start and stop recording your view.
#import <Glimpse/Glimpse.h>
@implementation myViewController
- (void)viewDidAppear
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
// Create a new Glimpse object.
Glimpse *glimpse = [[Glimpse alloc] init];
// Start recording and tell Glimpse what to do when you are finished
[glimpse startRecordingView:self.view onCompletion:^(NSURL *fileOuputURL) {
NSLog(@"DONE WITH OUTPUT: %@", fileOuputURL.absoluteString);
}];
// Create a subview for this example
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectInset(self.view.bounds, 40.0f 40.0f)];
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
view.alpha = 0.0f;
[self.view addSubview:view];
// We are going to record the view fading in.
[UIView animateWithDuration:5.0 animations:^{
view.alpha = 1.0f;
} completion:^(BOOL finished) {
// Since our animation is complete, lets tell Glimpse to stop recording.
[glimpse stop];
}];
}
