Hi,

...
}


self.videoFilePath = [[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] path];

I had the same issue. Ben seems to think it is a bug in the SDK beta. What is happening is that the path method that is being called is the wrong method. Split the method calls up and put them on two lines and everything will work fine.

Take a look at my thread from last week. https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/error-when-setting-videofilepath-in-saving-the-media-chapter-of-build-a-selfdestructing-messaging-app

Thanks Patrick, I'll add the following:

NSURL *imagePickerURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
self.videoFilePath = [imagePickerURL path];

Hi Patrick, do you get cloud code error when sending image to parse? Can you take a look at my thread:

I haven't run through that course just yet, but it looks like that method's expecting a string and getting a pointer to an object type. I'd look and see if maybe you're handing it the wrong key there?

That's awesome, thanks Alan :)

The sample code works fine so think I've made a goof somewhere, just looking about for any obv mistakes but thought I'd post here too.

Alan Johnson, I think you need to do a Quick Tip on how to find the perfect animated gif. :smile:
