Abstract: Techniques are described for identifying a plurality of objects associated with a clipping mask and available for display in a user interface of a digital media editor, identifying, for each of the plurality of objects, a bounding box surrounding a respective object in the plurality of objects, each bounding box defining a plurality of anchor points configured to generate alignment guides for the respective object. The techniques may also includes determining, for each object, visible portions that are within a boundary defined by the clipping mask, determining a plurality of locations in which at least one bounding box intersects with the clipping mask within the visible portions, and triggering, in the user interface, modification of the at least one bounding box in at least one of the plurality of locations to reduce the at least one bounding box to terminate on at least one of the plurality of locations.
