Abstract: This application is directed to coding video data that includes a plurality of image samples of a video frame. Each image sample corresponds to one of a luma sample and a chroma sample. Each image sample is filtered using an adaptive in-loop filter having a filter length and a set of filter coefficients. A set of related image samples are identified in the filter length of each image sample. For each related image sample, a respective clip value index and a corresponding filter coefficient are identified. A difference of each related image sample and the respective image sample is clipped based on the respective clip value index that corresponds to a respective clipping boundary value equal to 2 to a power of a respective clipping number. The respective image sample is modified with the clipped difference of each of the related image samples based on the respective filter coefficient.

Abstract: Methods and devices for video coding are provided. In the method, the device determines, for a current luma transform block in a coding unit, whether an intra subpartition (ISP) split type is an ISP mode. In response to determining that the intra subpartition split type is not the ISP mode, the device determines a first context index for a Coded Block Flag (CBF) flag of the current luma transform block as being equal to zero or one, where the CBF flag specifies whether the current luma transform block comprises one or more transform coefficient levels not equal to zero. In response to determining that the intra subpartition split type is the ISP mode, the device determines the first context index based on a CBF variable of a previous luma transform unit in the coding unit.
