1. A method comprising:
determining, by a computing device, a first block vector predictor (BVP) candidate group comprising at least one BVP candidate, of a plurality of BVP candidates, within a threshold distance from a first BVP candidate of the plurality of BVP candidates;
determining a second BVP candidate group comprising one or more BVP candidates, of the plurality of BVP candidates, not within the threshold distance from the first BVP candidate;
determining, for a BVP candidate of the first BVP candidate group, a first cost;
determining, for a BVP candidate of the second BVP candidate group, a second cost; and
generating a list of BVP candidates comprising:
a first BVP candidate selected from the first BVP candidate group based on the first cost; and
a second BVP candidate selected from the second BVP candidate group based on the second cost.
