Devices, systems and methods for digital video coding, which include decoder side motion vector derivation (DMVD) tools, are described. An exemplary method for video processing includes making a decision, based on a determination that a current block of a video is coded using a multi-hypothesis prediction mode, regarding a selective enablement of a DMVD tool for the current block, wherein the DMVD tool derives a refinement of motion information signaled in a bitstream representation of the video; and performing, based on the decision, a conversion between the current block and the bitstream representation.
