Very spectacular, but unfortunately a render rather than real footage.
Is created by Alexander Svan / @AlexSvanArt, see:
Both posted on friday, a day before the actual event, with description "20 seconds from a parallel universe where Starship's OFT-2 and hot staging happened today. Best wishes to SpaceX for the upcoming Orbital Flight Test 2!".
EDIT: I was wrong, the link points to a video posted by SpaceX themselves; it's real footage, not a render, after all.
Are you drunk? This is posted by SpaceX official account
Yes, I was wrong, I'm sorry for it, and I already acknowledged I was wrong. No, I wasn't drunk; mistakes happen.
Are you sure? The render you link to doesn't have the same engine gimbaling behavior seen in the SpaceX video. The brightness and shape of the hot staging plume is different as well.
It's not the same video indeed, so I was wrong. Plus your video comes from SpaceX itself, so that should be legit.
In my mind the booster flipped around much faster after staging (though the live stream wasn't really detailed enough to show that).
