Actualmente estoy trabajando en una aplicación de iOS que combina el número deseado de videos. Una vez que el usuario toca el botón para fusionar los videos, los videos se unen y luego se reproducen utilizando AVPlayer como:

CMTime nextClipStartTime = kCMTimeZero;
NSInteger i;
CMTime transitionDuration = CMTimeMake(1, 1); // Default transition duration is one second.

// Add two video tracks and two audio tracks.
AVMutableCompositionTrack *compositionVideoTracks[2];
AVMutableCompositionTrack *compositionAudioTracks[2];
compositionVideoTracks[0] = [self.mixComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
compositionVideoTracks[1] = [self.mixComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
compositionAudioTracks[0] = [self.mixComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];
compositionAudioTracks[1] = [self.mixComposition addMutableTrackWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio preferredTrackID:kCMPersistentTrackID_Invalid];

CMTimeRange *passThroughTimeRanges = alloca(sizeof(CMTimeRange) * [self.selectedAssets count]);
CMTimeRange *transitionTimeRanges = alloca(sizeof(CMTimeRange) * [self.selectedAssets count]);

// Place clips into alternating video & audio tracks in composition, overlapped by transitionDuration.
for (i = 0; i < [self.selectedAssets count]; i++ )
{
    NSInteger alternatingIndex = i % 2; // alternating targets: 0, 1, 0, 1, ...
    AVURLAsset *asset = [self.selectedAssets objectAtIndex:i];

    NSLog(@"number of tracks %d",asset.tracks.count);

    CMTimeRange assetTimeRange;
    assetTimeRange.start = kCMTimeZero;
    assetTimeRange.duration = asset.duration;
    NSValue *clipTimeRange = [NSValue valueWithCMTimeRange:assetTimeRange];
    CMTimeRange timeRangeInAsset;
    if (clipTimeRange)
        timeRangeInAsset = [clipTimeRange CMTimeRangeValue];
    else
        timeRangeInAsset = CMTimeRangeMake(kCMTimeZero, [asset duration]);

    AVAssetTrack *clipVideoTrack = [[asset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo] objectAtIndex:0];
    [compositionVideoTracks[alternatingIndex] insertTimeRange:timeRangeInAsset ofTrack:clipVideoTrack atTime:nextClipStartTime error:nil];

    AVAssetTrack *clipAudioTrack = [[asset tracksWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeAudio] objectAtIndex:0];
    [compositionAudioTracks[alternatingIndex] insertTimeRange:timeRangeInAsset ofTrack:clipAudioTrack atTime:nextClipStartTime error:nil];

    // Remember the time range in which this clip should pass through.
    // Every clip after the first begins with a transition.
    // Every clip before the last ends with a transition.
    // Exclude those transitions from the pass through time ranges.
    passThroughTimeRanges[i] = CMTimeRangeMake(nextClipStartTime, timeRangeInAsset.duration);
    if (i > 0) {
        passThroughTimeRanges[i].start = CMTimeAdd(passThroughTimeRanges[i].start, transitionDuration);
        passThroughTimeRanges[i].duration = CMTimeSubtract(passThroughTimeRanges[i].duration, transitionDuration);
    }
    if (i+1 < [self.selectedAssets count]) {
        passThroughTimeRanges[i].duration = CMTimeSubtract(passThroughTimeRanges[i].duration, transitionDuration);
    }

    // The end of this clip will overlap the start of the next by transitionDuration.
    // (Note: this arithmetic falls apart if timeRangeInAsset.duration < 2 * transitionDuration.)
    nextClipStartTime = CMTimeAdd(nextClipStartTime, timeRangeInAsset.duration);
    nextClipStartTime = CMTimeSubtract(nextClipStartTime, transitionDuration);

    // Remember the time range for the transition to the next item.
    transitionTimeRanges[i] = CMTimeRangeMake(nextClipStartTime, transitionDuration);
}

// Set up the video composition if we are to perform crossfade or push transitions between clips.
NSMutableArray *instructions = [NSMutableArray array];

// Cycle between "pass through A", "transition from A to B", "pass through B", "transition from B to A".
for (i = 0; i < [self.selectedAssets count]; i++ )

    NSInteger alternatingIndex = i % 2; // alternating targets

    // Pass through clip i.

Actualmente estoy enfrentando los siguientes problemas:

Si un video está en vertical y otro en horizontal, ¿cómo podré rotar el video vertical en horizontal ya que mi vista está en orientación horizontal pero el video vertical conservará su original? (Estoy cargando videos almacenados en el rollo de la cámara, no los estoy grabando dentro de mi aplicación)

Dejando de lado el problema mencionado anteriormente, si fusiono cualquier número de videos, funcionan bien. Una vez que guardo el nuevo video en mi biblioteca, y luego lo cargué en mi aplicación nuevamente e intenté unirlo con otro video nuevo, la resolución se alteró aunque ambos videos, si se reproducen por separado en la aplicación, funcionan realmente bien. ¿Cómo puedo resolver eso?

(He intentado seguir el tutorial de edición de videos de la WWDC 2010, por lo que este código se extrae de allí).
