Chroma Keyer stopped working

I've been using Vegas Chroma Keyer for a while in Vegas Pro 15. I usually download green screen animations from YouTube and apply the "green screen" setting on the Vegas Chroma Keyer FX tool and it always gets rid of the green mask. Now for some reason, I can no longer get rid of the green background. I haven't changed any settings that I know of and still use the same procedure I've always used. I've tried the color picker and the preselect settings, but nothing works. It's probably something I did, but I have no idea what it is. Any ideas? Thanks.

The category "Vegas Effects" is for the application "Vegas Effects" - not effects used in VEGAS.

Have you clicked the "Split Screen" button above the preview screen? It's a button that's a circle that's half dark and half light.

I wasn't sure about the category selection. Anyway, the "Split Screen" button was the issue. I must have been fiddling with it and forgot to turn it off. Thanks for the quick response!
