NextLevelSessionExporter is an export and transcode media library for iOS written in Swift.
The library provides customizable audio and video encoding options unlike AVAssetExportSession and without having to learn the intricacies of AVFoundation. It was a port of SDAVAssetExportSession with inspiration from SCAssetExportSession – which are great obj-c alternatives.

)Alternatively, drop the source files into your Xcode project.
Simply use the AVAsset extension or create and use an instance of NextLevelSessionExporter directly.
