AI summary

A method of video processing is described. The method includes determining, for a conversion between a current video block of a video unit of a video and a coded representation of the video, a default intra prediction mode for the video unit coded using a certain intra prediction mode such that a prediction block of the current video block is generated without extrapolating neighboring pixels of the current video block along a direction; and performing the conversion based on the determining.
