Overview

ARVideoKit framework uses Apple's ARKit, AVFoundation, Metal and CoreMedia under the hood to render ARSCNView 🚀 or ARSKView 👾 content with the device's camera stream. Enabling developers to easily capture videos 📹, photos 🌄, Live Photos 🎇 and GIFs 🎆.

1. Rendering scenes in real-time.
   • Augmented Reality with SpriteKit content
   • Augmented Reality with SceneKit content
   • Game SceneKit content
2. Writing the rendered scenes into a video file.
3. Starting an audio session.
4. Writing the audio buffers with the rendered scenes.
5. Calculating media time when using pause/resume functionalities.
6. Writing the rendered scenes into a Live Photo file.
7. Writing the rendered scenes into a GIF file.
8. Recording video & audio while playing audio in the background (e.g. playing songs from Music.app while recording).
9. Modifying video orientations based on device's orientation.
10. Exporting media to the device's Camera Roll.
