freaking out , lost imovie when unplugged drive

[sbb155]

I was editing an imovie project, and I unplugged the hard drive (external) by accident. When I plugged it back in, the clips are in the trash, and the edit points are all lost. How can I restore the edited clips (I have the originals)
I am really freaking out

It's happened to all of us at one time or another. Save early, save often.
