Methods, systems, and devices for coefficient scaling for high-precision image and video coding are described. A example method of video processing includes performing a conversion between a current block of a video and a bitstream representation of the video according to a rule, wherein the rule specifies that the conversion includes during encoding, skipping applying a forward transform to residual coefficients of the current block prior to including in the bitstream representation, or during decoding, reconstructing residual coefficients of the current block from the bitstream representation without applying an inverse transform, and wherein the rule further specifies that a scale factor is applied to the residual coefficients independent of a size of the current block.

A method and apparatus for video coding utilizing a current block, a maximum side of the transform block of the current block corresponds to 64. A scaling matrix is derived from elements of an 8×8 base scaling matrix, where the elements in a bottom-right 4×4 region of the 8×8 base scaling matrix are skipped, either not signaled or set to zero. According to another method, a current block belongs to a current picture in a first color format that has only a first color component. A first scaling matrix is signaled at the video encoder side or parsed at the video decoder side for the first color component of the current block. Signaling any second scaling matrix is disabled at the video encoder side or parsing any second scaling matrix is disabled at the video decoder side for a second or third color component of the current block.
