I looked at the video several times, I don't believe this is a tail strike, close but no cigar, the pitch up was caused by a "hold it off, landing technique that leaves you in a nose high attitude and low airspeed, as soon as the mains touch, ground spoilers deploy and because of the CG, pitch the nose up further, all covered in the FCOM.
