Abstract
A method and apparatus of encoding or decoding for a coding system, where bi-directional CU (coding unit) weighting (BCW) is enabled for the coding system to allow using multiple pairs of weights, are disclosed. According to this method, a Merge candidate list is generated for the current block, where current bi-directional CU weights for a bi-directional predictor of the current block associated with a target Merge candidate in the Merge candidate list are set to a pre-define pair of weights when the target Merge candidate corresponds to a selected Merge candidate. In another method, current bi-directional CU weights for a bi-directional predictor associated with a target Merge candidate in the Merge candidate list are inherited from the target Merge candidate when the target Merge candidate corresponds to a selected Merge candidate.
