Just spent six hours getting my project together. The app froze , I had to start it again. Cannot find the files anywhere , disappeared....
What the hell is going on, where could they be, if they do exist
Please help

Hi and welcome to the user to user forums.
There are no Magix support staff here, only other users willing to help out.
Personally I would start by not emptying your recycle bin in case something you did deleted them from your drives.
Then if you see any video or image files in the recycle area move them back by right clicking the files and selecting Restore.
Then try opening your project in whichever program you are using and see if the files return.
Are you getting any messages when you open the project telling you files can't be found?

Hi
. . . . Cannot find the files anywhere , disappeared. . . .
The progran does not delete files that are used in a project,
In addition to @CubeAce comment.
Are you refering to the project file or the source video/image files?
If the project file, did you regularly save the project while editing?
If so the file will be in the location you saved to and there may be up to 10 backups with file names ending in _BAK0.MV_ through to _BAK9.MV_ that you can load and resave the project - note the 0 - 9 numbering does not signify which is the latest as when 9 is reached the numbering sequence starts again with 0, use the date/time created to determine the 'age' of the backups.
Have the source video/images/audio files used in the project been transferred to an internal drive or an external USB drive ?
If a USB drive check that the files are still there, this will awaken the drive if it, or the USB port, have gone to sleep
