Thanks for your code. I used it, changed few lines, it's working well.

   @objc func handlePanGesture(sender: UIPanGestureRecognizer) {
      switch sender.state {
       case .began, .changed:
        let translation = sender.translation(in: self.view)
        let horizontalTranslation = Float(translation.x)

        let durationInSeconds = Float(CMTimeGetSeconds(player.currentItem!.asset.duration))

        // normalize based on duration and width of the view
        let scale:Float = durationInSeconds / Float(self.view.frame.width) / 4
        // then you need to add the current time of player to avoid it starting from the middle.            
        let seekTime = horizontalTranslation * scale + Float((self.player.currentItem?.currentTime().seconds)!)

        let cmTime = CMTimeMakeWithSeconds(Float64(Float(seekTime)), preferredTimescale: self.player.currentTime().timescale)
        player.seek(to: cmTime)
        print("horizontal translation \(horizontalTranslation) \n timeToSeekTo: \(seekTime)")

    default:
        print("default")
    }

}
