Video processing methods and apparatuses include receiving input video data associated with a current picture composed of multiple Coding Tree Units (CTUs) for encoding or decoding, determining a number of subpictures, partitioning the current picture into one or more subpictures, and encoding or decoding each subpicture in the current picture. Each subpicture contains multiple complete CTUs and boundaries of each subpicture are aligned with grids of the current picture in units of CTUs. The number of subpictures in the current picture is limited by an allowed maximum number of slices.
