Devices, systems and methods for digital video coding, which includes motion prediction based on updated motion vectors generated using two-step inter-prediction, are described. Methods for clipping of updated MV or derived MV are described. An exemplary method for video coding includes: determining original motion information for a current block; updating original motion vectors of the original motion information for the current block based on a refining method; clipping the updated motion vectors to be within a range; and performing a conversion between the current block and a bitstream representation of a video including the current block, based on the clipped updated motion vectors.
