detecting a second beginning CTU in the second sequence of the multiple CTUS;

in response to detecting the second beginning CTU, initializing a second HMVP list for the second CTU row; and

processing the second CTU row based on the initialized second HMVP list.

2. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein initializing the first HVMP list further comprises

setting a quantity of candidate motion vectors in the first HMVP list to zero.

3. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein processing the first CTU row based on the first HMVP list further comprises:

processing the first beginning CTU in the first sequence;

processing a second CTU of the first CTU row based on the first updated HMVP list, wherein the second CTU is subsequent to the first beginning CTU in the first sequence.

4. The video processing method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

updating the first updated HMVP list based on a processed second CTU of the first CTU row.

5. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein initializing the second HMVP list for the second CTU row further comprises:

emptying the second HMVP list.

6. The video processing method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more CTU rows are processed in wavefront parallel processing (WPP) mode.

7. The video processing method according to claim 6 , wherein the second CTU row is processed after a particular CTU of the first CTU row is processed.

8. A video encoder comprising:

one or more processors; and

a first non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the processors and storing a program for execution by the processors, wherein the program, when executed by the processors, causes the one or more processors to:

obtain a current frame of a video;

partition the current frame into one or more areas including a current area, wherein the current area includes one or more coding tree unit (CTU) rows including a first CTU row and a second CTU row;

obtain the first CTU row, the first CTU row comprising multiple CTUs in a first sequence;
