A video coding apparatus is provided to reduce pulsing artifacts. The video coding apparatus includes a correlation calculation unit calculating a correlation value indicating a correlation degree of correlation between: a first block; and a second block or a third block. The first block includes pixels included in a first original picture in an original picture sequence of original pictures, the second block includes pixels included in a second original picture which precedes the first original picture, and the third block is obtained by coding and reconstructing the second block. The video coding apparatus also includes a correlation judgment unit judging whether the correlation value exceeds a first threshold, and judging that the correlation is high when the correlation value exceeds the first threshold, and includes a blending unit blending the first block and the third block when the correlation judgment unit judges that the correlation is high.
