Would you like to create your camera same as Snapchat or Instagram? I think this library could help you. Basicly it is a wrapper above AVFoundation that allows you to use camera feature without extra setup. Build your own UI with buttons/sliders/anything else exactly like you want and just assign appropriate actions to them.

Library is under development, so I will appreciate your suggestions, bug reports and stars ;)

How to install

Just drag and drop files from Source folder into project

How to use

Look into example project first. Then add private var cameraManager: TCCoreCamera? property into UIViewController

and setup TCCoreCamera with appropriate UIView

self.cameraManager = TCCoreCamera(view: self.view)
self.cameraManager?.completion = { (fileURL) in
    self.saveInPhotoLibrary(with: fileURL)
    print("finished writing to \(fileURL.absoluteString)")
}
self.cameraManager?.photoCompletion = { [weak self] (image) in
    do {
        try PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChangesAndWait {
            PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAsset(from: image)
        }
        self?.setupStartButton()
    } catch {
        print(error.localizedDescription)
    }
}

Now create all buttons you need and assign TCCoreCamera actions to them
