Easy to get back in most cases as long as you stop using the drive your data was stored on.

Lets do this!
If I lose data I use a free application called "Panda Recovery". As the swiss motard stated, as long as your not still using the computer you should be able to recover all the data.

It's not what , it's how
On my sd card that I deleted once it was loaded

I always make copies, always just in case, especially for serious footage...

Have you recorded anything on the card since then? If not you should be able to recover the videos with no issues.

If you imported it into FCPX as an event, then it should still be in your FCPX project & events bundle (or project folder depending on the version)... it just might be orphaned. If it's 10.0.x, then just go to the Project & Events folder, then Final Cut Events, find your event's folder, then Original Media and then reimport. If it's 10.1.x, right click on your projects and events.fcpbundle, show package contents, find your event's folder, Original Media, copy the video file somewhere else and reimport.
Give that a try and hope it helps

Sorry to hear that, but it'll probably happen again some day. It happened to me a few weeks ago.

Recova has helped me out a few times when I've not been paying attention. It's a great recovery tool.

Best to backup all files before editing IMO, straight to the external HDD then pull off whatever I need local for editing...

I second, third or eonth Recuva. I myself have used this when I goofed using RoboCopy and practically deleted an entire folder. I managed to get back most of my stuff, but naturally the biggest near miss in existence was gone. The only problem with the recovery software is that you need enough space on another HDD to recover it to. And with 1080p footage that's a big task.
I have never heard of editing software deleting footage though. If that happened to me whilst using Vegas I'd look for another editing suite.
