# Clips & moodboards
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/make-music/clips

Save visual and audio inspiration to a track's moodboard. Clip an image straight from any web page with the Aden browser extension, or add a reference URL or uploaded file from the track's inspiration tab. Everything lands in one inspiration panel per track.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

Every track in Aden has an **inspiration moodboard**: a place to collect the
images, references, and files that capture where the track is headed. There are
two ways to fill it:

* **Clip from the web with the browser extension.** When you spot an image on
  any web page, a reference cover, a concert photo, a colour palette, a vibe
  right-click it and send it straight to a track's moodboard without leaving the
  page you're on.
* **Add inspiration from the track itself.** Open a track's **Inspiration** tab
  to paste a URL or upload a file (an image, a rough demo, a reference) directly.

Both end up in the same inspiration panel on the track, each card linking back to
where it came from so you can find the context later.

## Using it [#using-it]

### Clipping an image from the web (browser extension) [#clipping-an-image-from-the-web-browser-extension]

1. Install the **Aden** browser extension.
2. On any web page, right-click an image and choose **"Add to Aden
   inspiration"** from the context menu.
3. You land on the `/clip` page with the image already filled in.
4. Pick the track you want to attach it to from the searchable dropdown.
5. Optionally add a short note describing why it's inspiring, then click
   **Save**.

The image now appears in that track's inspiration moodboard. The card keeps a
link back to the original page.

> You can also open `/clip?url=<image-url>` directly in your browser, that's
> exactly the address the extension sends you to, so the flow works even without
> the extension installed.

### Adding inspiration from the track's Inspiration tab [#adding-inspiration-from-the-tracks-inspiration-tab]

1. Open a track and go to the **Inspiration** tab.
2. Either **paste a URL** (a reference link, a video, an image) or **upload a
   file** from your device.
3. Add an optional description and save. The item appears alongside your clips
   in the same moodboard.

Uploaded files count toward your team's storage, so a team that's over its
storage limit or below the required plan will be asked to upgrade or free up
space before the upload goes through.
