Solved the issue see my below code. This was working fine with video.

CATextLayer *titleLayer = [CATextLayer layer];
titleLayer.string = self.strText;
titleLayer.font = (__bridge CFTypeRef)(self.fonts);
titleLayer.fontSize = fontsize;
titleLayer.masksToBounds = NO;
titleLayer.foregroundColor = self.textColor.CGColor;
titleLayer.alignmentMode = kCAAlignmentCenter;
//[self.txtVideoText setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithHue:255.0/255.0 saturation:255.0/255.0 brightness:255.0/255.0 alpha:0.4]];
//[self setAnchorPoint:self.txtVideoText.layer.anchorPoint forView:self.txtVideoText layer:titleLayer];
titleLayer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.5, 0.5);
titleLayer.frame = CGRectMake(xx,-(yy-CGRectGetHeight(self.viewHeader.frame)), 480, 480); //You may need to adjust this for proper display
[parentLayer addSublayer:titleLayer]; //ONLY IF WE ADDED TEXT

Your code seems fine, but not sure if the frame provided is wrong or right. If you have provided the right frame then add this code, in the end:-

[titleLayer display];

It will work now!

Solved the issue see my below code. This was working fine with video

CGFloat stickerX = (videoSize.width * (newsticker.frame.origin.x+imageView2.frame.origin.x))/_StickerView.frame.size.width;
CGFloat stickerY = (videoSize.height * (newsticker.frame.origin.y+imageView2.frame.origin.y))/_StickerView.frame.size.height;

titleLayer.frame = CGRectMake(stickerX,-(StickerY-CGRectGetHeight(self.viewHeader.frame)), 480, 480); //You may need to adjust this for proper display
