For calling Frame Processors I always created a copy of the
CMSampleBuffer
. I don't think this is necessary, ARC will automatically retain it until the frame processor has finished executing anyways. I also don't think video frames will be dropped, since AVFoundation maintains a pool of buffers and the frame processor does (often) not execute every single frame.This requires a bit more testing, but in general it should greatly improve the performance of frame processors, since a huge copy (~10MB per frame) is avoided.
