               1. A method of video encoding comprising: 
            partitioning a video picture into a plurality of coding units (CUs), wherein at least one of the plurality of CUs is further partitioned into a plurality of triangular shape prediction units (PUs); 
                constructing a motion vector merge list for a CU comprising a plurality of triangular shape PUS; 
                obtaining a plurality of uni-directional motion vector candidates each comprising one motion vector of a corresponding candidate in the motion vector merge list; and 
                deriving a predictor for each of the plurality of triangular shape PUs based on a uni-directional motion vector candidate of the plurality of uni-directional motion vector candidates, 
                wherein obtaining the plurality of uni-directional motion vector candidates comprises: 
                obtaining respective uni-directional motion vector candidates for the PUs from a plurality of motion vector candidates in the motion vector merge list constructed for the CU, while orders thereof are preserved.
