UIImagePickerController get video length before compression

Question

I need to get the video length before the compression happens cos I need to restrict my video length to a maximum time interval. When I click on a video the compression happens first and after that only it calls didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo. So if its a larger video file there is no point of making user wait to do the video size validation. Isn't there any way to make it prior to didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo.

Answer 1

If you are letting them record, you can cap the length of video capture with videoMaximumDuration .

I believe it also applies to the Library, but not sure.
