Chromakey no longer works

OBS chromakey has stopped working normally. If I put the image above camera in sources, I get image but no camera capture. If I reverse the order, only the camera capture is seen. If I leave only camera in sources, I appear on screen in front of black screen.
I use an OMEN computer and Windows 10.
The chromakey worked great for weeks then failed as above.
I uninstalled OBS, ran virus check, reinstalled OBS and set up again. Three times but no change.
I then Installed OBS Studio on an old computer for the first time. Same problem.
WHAT am I missing ir doing wrong?

According to your latest log file, only scene 'A Chroma' actually contains a source with a chroma key filter. When applying that, does it make the background disappear?

The top image is an OBS scene with an image of a women standing in front of a green screen. At the second image a Chroma Key filter is applied to remove the green. If there is no background image as in 'A Chroma' then the background will be black.

That is exactly what happens. The Chomakey removes my cloth green screen hanging on the wall behind me and the camera with the chromakey shows me in front of a black background which is already pretty cool. But when I add an image for example clouds above the ocean, I get me and the black background if the camera is above the image in the sources panel. And if I put the image above the camera, all I get is the image of the clouds and see. I have deleted OBS and downloaded and installed three or four times and nothing changes. I downloaded OBS to a second computer I had in storage for the first time ever and got the same results. I am puzzled because previously I had great results with the chromakey. Any help you can give me will be appreciated. Cheers, John Hunter.

I'm not sure why you're having that issue - but can you just add the chroma key filter directly to your camera source? Instead of adding it to the scene? (I think I'm reading your log correctly)

The Chromakey is added to the Scene named "A chroma". I clicked on the camera "C922' in sources for Scene "A chroma" but no Chroma key in the drop down menu. I went to Scene A (922 without Chomakey and added Color Key and selected a suitable green but that did not work. Just got Green. It's a puzzle alright.

Eureka! Problem solved. Thank you. I had another crack at adding Chroma to the camera in Sources and found it this time. All works perfectly now. So happy to have the facility for chromakey backgrounds back. I really appreciate your efforts for me. Cheers, John Hunter, Melbourne Australia.
