Not sure if anyone can help but I'm struggling with creating or getting a thumbnail for a video file in my iOS app. I'm using a `PHPickerView` to show my gallery, I select a video and get a `PHPickerResult`, which has the `itemProvider` that i use to get a `nsUrl` . however if I try to do something like `AVAsset.assetWithURL(videoUrl)` then the asset doesn't seem to be recognized as a video, or readable. I have permissions enabled so I don't think it's that, and I'm able to get photos with the picker. looking for other ideas.

did you check in the console output if there is an error?

yeah, no errors. I ended up figuring it out...I guess I had to write the bytes to a temp url. I'm calling `videoNsData.writeToURL(tempUrl)` function before calling `AVAsset.assetWithURL(tempUrl)`
