   I followed this tutorial how to create a chain using motion paths. But now I need to make that chain move around the motion path https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EjBu6ic10o I have my chain in a closed curve that I need to animate around the closed curve.

   Thanks, but thats using Motion Paths. I couldn't get that to work since it's a closed loop and the chain is a full connected oval. Unless Im missing something and not seeing a certain setting or something. I messed around with Motion Paths for a good 45 minutes yesterday, no luck.
