You want to make a thumbnail or capture frames into an GIF animation? — Kirby Todd, Oct 26 '13 at 06:26

Add

#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>
#import <MobileCoreServices/UTCoreTypes.h>

and use following delegate method of UIImagePickerViewController

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
   if ([[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaType ] isEqualToString:@"public.movie"])
   {
     MPMoviePlayerController *player = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];];
        UIImage  *thumbnail = [player thumbnailImageAtTime:1.0 timeOption:MPMovieTimeOptionNearestKeyFrame];
        [player stop];
        player = nil;

     // Here your got UIImage name is 'thumbnail'
   }
}

You can get image (thumbnail) from video.

this is not what the question was about, it was how to convert video to gif animation, not how to capture an image from video (I assume at least). — Tankista, Feb 01 '17 at 17:05

Though this question is old, I created a library for converting videos to gifs for iOS.
