AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for video processing. A method for video processing is proposed. The method comprises: deriving, during a conversion between a target block of a video and a bitstream of the target block, a motion vector predictor for the target block from a parameter table that stores a set of affine parameters from at least one previously coded block, the target block being a non-affine coded block; and performing the conversion based on the motion vector predictor.
