Filename to EXIF data

[katanna]

Howdy!

I have 60,000 photographs (timelapse photos) that have their time/date in the file name but don't have any EXIF data (another EXIF program says "No or invalid EXIF header"). Is there any way to use ExifTool to move that information to the metadata?

The photo names are in the format:

yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.jpg

Example:

2013-12-02-09-43-42.jpg

Any way to process a folder of images and move that information to the EXIF data (creation and modification date)? Thanks!

Thanks!!! I ended up using:

exiftool "-alldates<filename" -overwrite_original [folderpath]

Works like a charm! Made this project actually usable again! Thanks again!!!
