It does seem rather like any footage where the visible creature is running away is taken to be thylacine, as if being spooked by the camera is one of the defining characteristics indicating it's a thylacine.
These types of autotriggering video cameras are used by hunters, scientists etc worldwide. They don't really spook anything, so any person saying being spooked by the camera is a defining characteristic means that the creature is pretty much the only one in the world that has that behavior.
The jumping behavior shown doesn't match how the known thylacine films from zoos show the animal moving. Not that there's lots of video.
Here's one I hadn't seen.

The zoo films are no guide as to what range of behavior or movement the thylacine had, so using them as a benchmark is useless.

I'm really surprised to hear that, that and the Fleay film are the two best and most referenced of the seven known sequences, all of which are to be found here;

I looked up thylacine on wikipedia and it's status is "extinct".
I hope one day I can look up 'lawyer' and it says the same. |

| I'd say its status is elusive. |

The nicest solicitor I ever met is now inside, does that say anything? Probably not.
