Do you have a backup of your project file? Or do you use Windows and have file history enabled? Probably the answer to both of those is no. In which case, please read the below.

You might want to sit down for this… I’m really sorry, but he means the latter. Such significant and important work should always be backed up by the user in some form (but I’m guessing you’re about to learn that the hard way). You could try searching your computer for mlt files that have been created on the date of your disaster, and if any exist opening them (unlikely). However, so this doesn’t happen to you again: I can empathise, but look at it as a valuable learning experience.
