this stack overflow post shows how to do it using av foundation:

add the CoreMedia and AVFoundation libraries to your project (click the plus sign under Link Binary with Libraries in your projects build phases and add those 2) then:

import AVFoundation first:

#import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>

then you can use:

AVURLAsset *asset1 = [[AVURLAsset alloc] initWithURL:partOneUrl options:nil];
AVAssetImageGenerator *generate1 = [[AVAssetImageGenerator alloc] initWithAsset:asset1];
generate1.appliesPreferredTrackTransform = YES;
NSError *err = NULL;
CMTime time = CMTimeMake(1);
CGImageRef oneRef = [generate1 copyCGImageAtTime:time actualTime:NULL error:&err];
UIImage *one = [[UIImage alloc] initWithCGImage:oneRef];
[_firstImage setImage:one];
_firstImage.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
