How to reuse the value

Hi I have a bunch of .JPG files in seq order IMG_0212.JPG etc. and I need to have them in "YYYYMMDD HHNNSS.jpg" format.

Unfortunately for some reason the date+time <ExifTool:DateTimeOriginal> of the photo is not always present in the metadata/exif...

However it seems <ExifTool:FileCreateDate> or <ExifTool:DateCreated> is sometimes present.

It's quite inconsistent actually depending on the file origins.

Is it possible to create a rule that would extract the best value and reuse for the file name suggested above? (thinking of a mini "ïf-then" script)

Thanks,

OK it seems if I use the value <ExifTool:MediaCreateDate> I get something like this:
2024_08_13 11_15_22.mov

Any idea what should I configure to get "20240813 111522.mov" instead?
