How to screen capture AVCameraCapturePreviewLayer

Question

Screen capturing AVCameraCapturePreviewLayer looking too dark in screen captured video. Is there any was to screen capture it.

I don't understand your question. Do you want to get a frame of the video like the user1111's answer? — dcorbatta, Nov 23 '13 at 04:50
No one will be able to answer this unless you make your question more clear. — Mick MacCallum, Nov 25 '13 at 11:50
Question looking much understandable! ok for your better understanding, #1 i'm screen capturing a view with its subviews. #2. i'm adding `AVCameraCapturePreviewLayer` which displays camera preview, to the view. #3. this preview layer not visible in screen captured video. — Muruganandham K, Nov 25 '13 at 13:30

After long research i found a way to capture camera preview. Just convert CMSampleBuffer to CIImage or UIImage. myAvController sample code gives a prety good solution.
