Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for video decoding. The apparatus includes processing circuitry that determines motion information of a current block. The motion information indicates one or more reference blocks of the current block. If a motion information constraint indicates that the one or more reference blocks are within picture boundaries of respective one or more reference pictures, the processing circuitry reconstructs the current block based on the one or more reference blocks. If a first motion vector (MV) points from a region in the current block to a first reference region of a first reference block that is outside a picture boundary of a first reference picture, the processing circuitry determines a first clipped MV pointing from the region to an updated first reference region by clipping the first MV where the updated first reference region is within the picture boundary.
