http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14153878/avcapturesession-preset-photo-and-avcapturevideopreviewlayer-size
I initialize an AVCaptureSession and I preset it like this :
AVCaptureSession *newCaptureSession = [[AVCaptureSession alloc] init];
if (YES==[newCaptureSession canSetSessionPreset:AVCaptureSessionPresetPhoto]) {
newCaptureSession.sessionPreset = AVCaptureSessionPresetPhoto;
} else {
// Error management
}
Then I setup an AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer :
self.preview = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height/*426*/)];
CALayer *previewLayer = preview.layer;
AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer *captureVideoPreviewLayer = [[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer alloc] initWithSession:self.session];
captureVideoPreviewLayer.frame = previewLayer.frame;
[previewLayer addSublayer:captureVideoPreviewLayer];
captureVideoPreviewLayer.videoGravity = AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspect;
My question is:
How can I get the exact CGSize needed to display all the captureVideoPreviewLayer layer on screen ? More precisely I need the height as AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspect make the AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer fits the preview.size ?
I try to get AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer size that fit right.
Very thank you for your help

After some research with AVCaptureSessionPresetPhoto the AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer respect the 3/4 ration of iPhone camera. So it's easy to have the right height with simple calculus.
As an instance if the width is 320 the adequate height is:
320*4/3=426.6

// Get your AVCaptureSession somehow. I'm getting mine out of self.videoCamera, which is a GPUImageVideoCamera
// Get the appropriate AVCaptureVideoDataOutput out of the capture session. I only have one session, so it's easy.
AVCaptureVideoDataOutput *output = [[[self.videoCamera captureSession] outputs] lastObject];
NSDictionary* outputSettings = [output videoSettings];
// AVVideoWidthKey and AVVideoHeightKey did not work. I had to use these literal keys.
long width = [[outputSettings objectForKey:@"Width"] longValue];
long height = [[outputSettings objectForKey:@"Height"] longValue];
// video camera output dimensions are always for landscape mode. Transpose if your camera is in portrait mode.
if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsPortrait([self.videoCamera outputImageOrientation])) {
long buf = width;
width = height;
height = buf;
}
CGSize outputSize = CGSizeMake(width, height);
