It's impossible to tell from the video. Dipping the camera may make it seem entirely different than it was.

A hard landing is a defined condition which requires a structural inspection of the airplane...this wasn't very likely to be such a landing. It may very well have been that the person who was filming the approach and landing simply allowed the camera to dip, giving the illusion of a firm landing.
