I resolved it using Photos framework. PHAssetChangeRequest has a property isFavorite. You can set true as mentioned in below code: -

Swift 3:

PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges({
    let request = PHAssetChangeRequest.creationRequestForAssetFromVideo(atFileURL: self.videoWatermarkedURL!)
    request?.isFavorite = true
}) { saved, error in
    if saved {
        OperationQueue.main.addOperation({
            UIAlertController.sharedInstance().showAlert(withTitle: AMTSavezees, message: "Video Saved in Favorite!", autoHideDuration: 3)
        })
    }
}

Good luck.
