Currently there are only a few ways to animate complex chains and each requires a bit of hand waving. Here is one way to get the animation to work:

The chain needs to travel at least one link
Set the animation to loop
Set the animation start and stop to line up with your sprocket ratio
Set the speed to be fast (around 7 steps or so) to make it appear seamless. For this to really be seamless you would need to use a tangent path guide, however I wanted to stick with actual links for this studio
