Quick poll: If you could seek a `Transition` , would you prefer to seek by: :one: percentage based progress (0-1f), or :two: playtime (between 0 and total duration)?

total duration could be helpful for chaining animations to come after each other but I suspect you've probably already made or plan a better way to do that anyway

Yes, we'll have more straightforward APIs to handle sequential animations. :slightly_smiling_face: Playtime-based seeking would be interesting when used with `withFrameMillis`, which allow switching fluently between precise seeking and running normally. Percentage based seeking is likely more intuitive to use with gestures.

<@UNH9ZT3NZ> APIs to handle sequential animations sounds really cool! Any CL that I can track for that work?

So far, <https://github.com/Bruno125/Compose-Challenges/blob/main/app/src/main/java/com/bruno/aybar/composechallenges/common/AnimationStateHolder.kt|this> is what I came up with for sequential animations. I use it <https://github.com/Bruno125/Compose-Challenges/blob/main/app/src/main/java/com/bruno/aybar/composechallenges/batman/BatmanPage.kt#L59|like this> (I was just getting started with Compose Animations when I wrote that though, not sure if it's the best way)

Thanks for sharing, <@U69E4T8D8>  With current `Transition` API, I'd probably do it similar to what you have in the gist linked above. :slightly_smiling_face:  As for tracking that work, that feature was unfortunately de-prioritized. You could track it here: <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/174926895>

how would repeatable/indefinite transitions work with a percentage-based-seek API? iirc `AnimatorSet#setCurrentPlayTime()` worked even with repeatable/indefinite animations

It won't. :slightly_smiling_face: The percentage-based seeking can support anything but infinite animations. On the other hand, I'm not sure that's a limitation, unless you have a use case in mind where it's useful to seek an infinite animation?

yeah i can’t think of a use case either. :slightly_smiling_face: was mainly just asking because i was wondering if transition would support everything `AnimatorSet` supported i suppose. i do tend to agree that the percentage based APIis nicer than one based on duration tho
