Filename to time and camera tags?

[dr kay]

Hi everyone,
I have a bunch of files (3000+) named YYYY.MM.DD_HH.MN_CAMERAID(5 symbols)_OriginalFileNumber.MP4
Can I transfer the YYYY.MM.DD and HH.MN to the creation date/time, CAMERAID to the Camera tags? And if yes, how can I do this?
Thank you in advance for any help!

Cheers,
V

ExifTool only really writes XMP to MP4 videos.  I'm not sure exactly what tags you want to write.  But the command could look something like this:

exiftool "-XMP:CreateDate<FileName" "-XMP:Description<${FileName;my @a=split('_');$_=$a[2]}" -ext mp4 DIR

where DIR is the name of a directory.  The above quoting is for Windows.  Swap the single and double quotes if you are on Mac or Linux.
