Low-frequency non-separable transform processing in video coding

An example video codec includes memory configured to store the video data and one or more processors implemented in circuitry and communicatively coupled to the memory. The one or more processors are configured to determine that a current mode of coding a current block of the video data is a single tree partitioning mode. Based on the current mode being the single tree partitioning mode, the one or more processors are configured to refrain from determining whether there is a non-DC coefficient for a chroma component of a transform unit (TU) for the current block and refrain from coding a low-frequency non-separable transformation (LFNST) index in response to the refraining of the determination of whether there is the non-DC coefficient. The one or more processors are configured to code the current block in the single partitioning mode with LFNST disabled.
