A computing system receives a video bitstream comprising a current picture and a current block within the current picture. The current block is encoded using information from a first reference block and a second reference block. When a portion of the current block corresponds to a first area that is within reference boundaries in both of the first and second reference blocks, the system reconstructs the portion using an average of reference values from the first and second reference blocks. When the portion of the current block corresponds to (i) a second area that is not within the reference boundaries in both of the first and second reference blocks or (ii) a third area that is within the reference boundaries in only one of the first and second reference blocks, the system reconstructs the portion using a weighted average of respective values of the first and second reference blocks.

An example method of video decoding includes receiving a video bitstream that comprises a plurality of blocks including a current chroma block. When less than a threshold number of neighboring chroma blocks of a current chroma block use a chroma-from-luma (CfL) mode, a first context is selected as an entropy decoding context for a first flag. When at least the threshold number of neighboring chroma blocks use the CfL mode, a second context is selected as the entropy decoding context for the first flag. The method also includes entropy decoding the first flag from the video bitstream using the entropy decoding context, where the first flag indicates whether the CfL mode is enabled for the current chroma block, and decoding the current chroma block according to a value of the first flag.
