A method for processing video content, the method comprising: receiving a video bitstream that comprises an indication of a reference picture list, wherein the reference picture list comprises one or more reference pictures associated with a current picture, and wherein at least one of the one or more reference pictures is associated with a decoded portion of the current picture; for each of the one or more reference pictures, determining whether to retrieve weighted prediction parameters for the reference picture based at least in part on a picture order count, POC, associated with the current picture and a POC associated with the reference picture, wherein, on a condition that the POC associated with the reference picture is different than the POC associated with the current picture, one or more weighted prediction parameters associated with the reference picture are retrieved from the video bitstream, and wherein, at least in part on a condition that the POC associated with the reference picture is the same as the POC associated with the current picture, weighted prediction parameters for the reference picture are determined to be not signaled in the video bitstream; receiving a video block associated with the current picture, a reference picture index associated with the video block, a luma motion vector associated with the video block, and a chroma motion vector associated with the video block, wherein the luma motion vector has an integer pixel precision and the chroma motion vector has a fractional pixel precision; and determining whether to apply weighted prediction to the video block based on whether weighted prediction parameters associated with the reference picture index are retrieved from the video bitstream, wherein, on a condition that weighted prediction parameters associated with the reference picture index are retrieved from the video bitstream, the video block is reconstructed using the reference picture index, the luma motion vector, the chroma motion vector, and the retrieved weighted prediction parameters associated with the reference picture index, and wherein, on a condition that weighted prediction parameters associated with the reference picture index are determined to be not signaled in the video bitstream, the video block is reconstructed using the reference picture index, the luma motion vector, and the chroma motion vector and with weighted prediction disabled. receiving a video bitstream that comprises an indication of a reference picture list, wherein the reference picture list comprises one or more reference pictures associated with a current picture, and wherein at least one of the one or more reference pictures is associated with a decoded portion of the current picture; for each of the one or more reference pictures, determining whether to retrieve weighted prediction parameters for the reference picture based at least in part on a picture order count, POC, associated with the current picture and a POC associated with the reference picture, wherein, on a condition that the POC associated with the reference picture is different than the POC associated with the current picture, one or more weighted prediction parameters associated with the reference picture are retrieved from the video bitstream, and wherein, at least in part on a condition that the POC associated with the reference picture is the same as the POC associated with the current picture, weighted prediction parameters for the reference picture are determined to be not signaled in the video bitstream; receiving a video block associated with the current picture, a reference picture index associated with the video block, a luma motion vector associated with the video block, and a chroma motion vector associated with the video block, wherein the luma motion vector has an integer pixel precision and the chroma motion vector has a fractional pixel precision; and determining whether to apply weighted prediction to the video block based on whether weighted prediction parameters associated with the reference picture index are retrieved from the video bitstream, wherein, on a condition that weighted prediction parameters associated with the reference picture index are retrieved from the video bitstream, the video block is reconstructed using the reference picture index, the luma motion vector, the chroma motion vector, and the retrieved weighted prediction parameters associated with the reference picture index, and wherein, on a condition that weighted prediction parameters associated with the reference picture index are determined to be not signaled in the video bitstream, the video block is reconstructed using the reference picture index, the luma motion vector, and the chroma motion vector and with weighted prediction disabled.
