Lost project file on external drive in iMovie

Hi,

I have an external drive I have been saving my iMovie work too.

I went to continue editing a project and found that every project file was present, but no data was on the files. All the projects were empty, and they had run times of 0second. There is around 20 projects i had been working on for a thesis peice, and well... to say I am upset is kind of an understatment.

Right now I am making a copy of the files onto a NAS, but does anyone have any idea how I might be able to gett the files back?

I normally use the external as a back up, but was running out of room on my MAc and copied everything across. Very disapointing this happeend at this time.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
