How to display video from ALAsset to UICollectionview ios

Question

I tried below code to get all videos from photo library by using ALAsset. For now, i want to display all videos to a UICollectionview but it doesn't seem to display anything. Please give me some advice. Thanks in advance.

-ViewDidLoad() : get all videos from Photo Library

allVideos = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
ALAssetsLibrary *assetLibrary = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];

[assetLibrary enumerateGroupsWithTypes:ALAssetsGroupAll usingBlock:^(ALAssetsGroup *group, BOOL *stop)
 {
     if (group)
     {
         [group setAssetsFilter:[ALAssetsFilter allVideos]];
         [group enumerateAssetsUsingBlock:^(ALAsset *asset, NSUInteger index, BOOL *stop)
          {
              if (asset)
              {
                  dic = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
                  ALAssetRepresentation *defaultRepresentation = [asset defaultRepresentation];
                  NSString *uti = [defaultRepresentation UTI];
                  NSURL  *videoURL = [[asset valueForProperty:ALAssetPropertyURLs] valueForKey:uti];
                  NSString *title = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"video %d", arc4random()%100];
                  UIImage *image = [self imageFromVideoURL:videoURL];
                  [dic setValue:image forKey:@"image"];
                  [dic setValue:title forKey:@"name"];
                  [dic setValue:videoURL forKey:@"url"];
                  [allVideos addObject:dic];
                  [_collectionView reloadData];
              }
          }];
     }
 }
 failureBlock:^(NSError *error)
{
    NSLog(@"error enumerating AssetLibrary groups %@\n", error);
}];

-imageFromVideoURL():

    - (UIImage *)imageFromVideoURL:(NSURL*)videoURL
{
    // result
    UIImage *image = nil;

    // AVAssetImageGenerator
    AVAsset *asset = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:videoURL options:nil];;
    AVAssetImageGenerator *imageGenerator = [[AVAssetImageGenerator alloc] initWithAsset:asset];
    imageGenerator.appliesPreferredTrackTransform = YES;

    // calc midpoint time of video
    Float64 durationSeconds = CMTimeGetSeconds([asset duration]);
    CMTime midpoint = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(durationSeconds/2.0, 600);

    // get the image from
    NSError *error = nil;
    CMTime actualTime;
    CGImageRef halfWayImage = [imageGenerator copyCGImageAtTime:midpoint actualTime:&actualTime error:&error];

    if (halfWayImage != NULL)
    {
        // CGImage to UIImage
        image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithCGImage:halfWayImage];
        [dic setValue:image forKey:@"name"];
         NSLog(@"Values of dictionary==>%@", dic);
        NSLog(@"Videos Are:%@",videoURL);
        CGImageRelease(halfWayImage);
    }
    return image;
}

Start to display all thumbnails of video to UICollectionView:

 - (NSInteger)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView numberOfItemsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return allVideos.count;
}




 - (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
    {
        UICollectionViewCell *cell=[collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"cellIdentifier" forIndexPath:indexPath];

        NSLog(@"allvideo %@", allVideos);
        ALAsset *alasset = [allVideos objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

        return cell;
    }

Replace this Line:-

              [allVideos addObject:dic];

With

              [allVideos addObject: asset];

And in this method:-

- (UICollectionViewCell *)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
 {
      UICollectionViewCell *cell=[collectionView dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier:@"cellIdentifier" forIndexPath:indexPath];

    NSLog(@"allvideo %@", allVideos);
    ALAsset *alasset = [allVideos objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    yourImageView.image = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:alasset.thumbnail];

 }
