Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing efficient video transmission are disclosed. In a video processing system, a transmitter identifies multiple planes in a scene. The transmitter renders and compresses each of the multiple planes with a combination of a corresponding compression level and a resolution, which is different from a combination of compression level and resolution of any other plane. For each plane, the transmitter inserts, in multi-plane information, data such as identification of the plane, a location in the video frame for the plane, and one or more of a resolution and compression level for the plane. The transmitter conveys the rendered and compressed planes along with the multi-plane information to a receiver. The receiver decodes each of the planes and insets each of the planes on any lower resolution planes of the multiple planes.
