Copy Sample Dataset
This page will show you how to copy a dataset from "Sample Project" in EdgeFirst Studio. You will be using this dataset to train your model. In the following examples, you will be copying the "Raivin Ultra-Short 2025.03" dataset.
Have you created a project?
It is important that you have followed through the Getting Started which shows you how to sign up, login, and create a project in EdgeFirst Studio which is crucial before starting any experiments.
Once you have your own project created, you can finally copy a dataset inside your project. In this example, the project that was created is called "My First Project".
Under "Sample Project", click on the "Datasets" button.
Inside "Sample Project", you will find a sample dataset called "Raivin Ultra-Short 2025.03". You will be copying this dataset to train a Fusion model for people detection.
Copy Dataset
To copy a dataset, navigate to the dataset you would like to copy. On the dataset card, select "Copy Dataset" from the dataset options as shown below.
This will open a new dialog for the user to specify the dataset source and destination. The destination will be the location of the copied dataset. The source is the current location of the dataset. The source is set by default to the current dataset card you've selected. In the example below, the source is set to the "Raivin Ultra-Short 2025.03" dataset from "Sample Project". The copied dataset will be placed as specified in the destination fields. By default a new dataset container will be created in the specified project. However, you can also create a dataset container before copying and specify this dataset container in the destination fields.
Once you have made your selection, click "Apply" at the bottom right to start the copy process.
You can navigate to the copied dataset by clicking the "Project" button and then clicking on the "Datasets" button on your project as shown below.
The progress for the dataset copy will be shown on the dataset card.
Once the copying process completes, the frames and the annotations would have been copied.

Tag Dataset
To maintain the current state of the dataset, tag the dataset with a version.
Click on the dataset options at the top right of the dataset card (three vertical dots). Then click the "History" button.
Add a new tagged version of the dataset by clicking the + green button on the right of the page as shown.
Specify the tag version and tag description. Click "Create Tag" to tag the dataset.
The new dataset tag will appear under "Version History" of this page. You can go back to the dataset card by clicking the "Back to Datasets" button.
Once you have copied and tagged the dataset, you can now begin training your model.
