I'm trying to add text to the video stream using GPUImage, however no text is showing. My filters are all working great however I can't seem to chain my text filter into the correct order. I want the text to be under my custom filter so the custom filter is having an effect on the text.
videoCamera = [[GPUImageStillCamera alloc] initWithSessionPreset:AVCaptureSessionPresetMedium cameraPosition:AVCaptureDevicePositionBack];
videoCamera.outputImageOrientation = UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight;
cropFilter = [[GPUImageCropFilter alloc] initWithCropRegion:CGRectMake(0, 0, 1, 1)];
mCurrentImage = [NPFilterBuilder getTextureOverlay];
sourcePicture = [[GPUImagePicture alloc] initWithImage:mCurrentImage smoothlyScaleOutput:NO];
[sourcePicture processImage];
customFilter = [NPFilterBuilder getFilter];
[videoCamera addTarget:cropFilter];
[cropFilter addTarget:customFilter atTextureLocation:0];
[sourcePicture addTarget:customFilter atTextureLocation:1];
[customFilter addTarget:mViewCameraPreview];
[videoCamera startCameraCapture];
Try to update element, may be it will help you.
