Abstract

Disclosed are a method for processing a video signal by using an affine motion prediction and an apparatus thereof. A method for processing a video signal according to the present disclosure may include: adding, to an affine candidate list, an affine coded block coded in an affine prediction mode among neighbor blocks of a current block; obtaining a syntax element indicating a candidate used for the affine motion prediction of the current block in the affine candidate list; deriving a control point motion vector predictor of the current block based on an affine motion model of the candidate indicated by the syntax element; deriving a control point motion vector of the current block by adding a control point motion vector difference to the control point motion vector predictor; and generating a prediction block of the current block by using the control point motion vector of the current block.
