End using that external drive temporarily and download external drive format recovery software to rescue your lost files. images and videos back from that formatted drive.
In fact, the formatting process will not really erase all your stored stuffs off from that drive. All your lost data is still stored on that drive and can be restored with the help of formatted external drive data recovery software.
So, don't panic! Just open your computer to search for a useful one there.
Remember to make drive data backups well.

Why you do not save all hard drive data on other places before you try to do your stuffs?
So, just learn a lesson to make data backups on several drives in the future.
