So I'm doing the tutorial on how to create the message application.
I am now at the point were we are adding the camera features.
But, I get a problem here in my CameraViewController.m
else {
// A video was taken/selected!
self.videoFilePath = [[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] path];
} <<<< Implicit conversion of C pointer type 'CGPathRef' (aka 'const struct CGPath *') to Objective-C pointer type 'NSString *' requires a bridged cast
I have the property in my .h file I checked that.

42,016 Pointssee the teachers notes in this video. in short replace:
self.videoFilePath = [[info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL] path]
with
NSURL *imagePickerURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
self.videoFilePath = [imagePickerURL path];

Courses Plus Student 307 PointsWhen I type the "path];" it doesn't come up as showing it is a NSString? Is that the problem? It shows it as "CGPathRef"
