set cameraOverlayView with xib

I created a simple xib file with a UIView and a UILabel in the middle of the view. I then set the owner of the xib to be the ViewController that will be using it. I created an outlet from the UIView to my ViewController and did the following:

imagePicker.cameraOverlayView = self.cameraOverlay;

The problem I am having is that it is not appearing when I open the camera. If I create the UIView programmatically it works, but it doesn't seem to work if I use a xib file.

Below is the code where I set the overlay, and camera:

- (IBAction)takeVideo:(id)sender {
    UIImagePickerController *imagePicker =
    [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    NSArray *availableTypes = [UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
    if ([availableTypes containsObject:(__bridge NSString *)kUTTypeMovie]) {
        [imagePicker setMediaTypes:@[(__bridge NSString *)kUTTypeMovie]];
    } 
    imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
    imagePicker.delegate = self;
    imagePicker.cameraOverlayView = self.cameraOverlay;

    [self presentViewController:imagePicker animated:YES completion:nil];
}

The camerOverlay is (strong, nonatomic)

Have you loaded the nib in code?

self.cameraOverlay = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"YourNibNameHere" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];

Place this in your viewDidLoad method.
