1. A computing system, comprising:
one or more processors, and
memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing a frontend application executable by the one or more processors that, when executed by the one or more processors, perform associated operations comprising:
selecting a plurality of motion candidates for a current coding unit (“CU”) of a current picture, wherein a Temporal Motion Vector Prediction candidate (“TMVP candidate”) is selected by setting a reference picture index of the TMVP candidate to a reference picture index having a scaling factor closest to 1,
wherein the scaling factor is determined based on a ratio between:
a picture order count (“POC”) difference between a reference picture of the current picture and the current picture, and
a POC difference between a collocated picture and a reference picture of the collocated picture.
