Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus including processing circuitry that adds merge candidates into a merge candidate list of a current block in a current picture. The merge candidates include available merge candidates including one or more of spatial motion vector predictors (MVP(s)), temporal MVP(s), non-adjacent MVP(s), history-based MVP(s), and pairwise average MVP(s). Whether the merge candidate list includes all available SMVP, TMVP, NA-MVP, HMVP, and PAMVP, and no merge candidate in the merge candidate list has a zero motion vector (zero MV) are determined. If the merge candidate list includes all available SMVP, TMVP, NA-MVP, HMVP, and PAMVP, and no merge candidate in the merge candidate list has the zero MV, the merge candidate having the zero MV is added to the merge candidate list. Merge candidates in the merge candidate list including the merge candidate having the zero MV are reordered using template matching.
