Aspects of this disclosure relate to a method of coding video data. In an example, the method includes determining a first residual quadtree (RQT) depth at which to apply a first transform to luma information associated with a block of video data, wherein the RQT represents a manner in which transforms are applied to luma information and chroma information. The method also includes determining a second RQT depth at which to apply a second transform to the chroma information associated with the block of video data, wherein the second RQT depth is different than the first RQT depth. The method also includes coding the luma information at the first RQT depth and the chroma information at the second RQT depth.
