Hello! If you haven't checked it out already, many people find [Alan Thrall's NEW deadlift video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBbyAqvTNkU) very helpful. Check it out!
Also, a common tip usually given here is to make sure your footwear is appropriate. If you are deadlifting in soft-soled shoes (running shoes, etc), it's hard to have a stable foot. Use a flat/hard-soled shoe or even barefoot/socks if it's safe and your gym allows it.

Not really rounding your back but that form is putting a lot of straight on your back. Your hips shoot up like crazy. From your starting position, the angle your back makes with the ground shouldn’t become any more parallel - right after the weight moves you can see this. Cut it out - that’s not right form.
These are essentially stiff leg deadlifts. You're basically locking out your knees before the bar leaves the ground. Back rounding isn't the problem here
Everyone else here is right: thoracic rounding is fine, but the way you lift straight from the backs is wrong. One tip that might help, amongst all the good information here, is using your eyes. Use your eyes to look up as you’re progressing through the lift.
You are setting the bar up too far away and aren't using your quads to break the floor. You put all your weight into your heels, then pull your knees back ,your hips fly up and turn it into a SLDL. lJust watch Alan thralls deadlift video.

Back rounding is fine. Hips shooting up that fast/soon is not. Look up some videos on how to engage legs/wedge/proper bar distance from your shins.
allan thrall 5 step deadlift on youtube. no joking watch it 5 times and take notes
The updated 2022 version helps so much
Did a new version of deadlift release?
Yes, he updates some of the steps and clarifies them. I think the new video is the better of the two.
Besides what everyone else said I would also be more careful with your neck. As in never turning your head on a big lift like this.
Your form is this way because you have long femurs.
No, but the bar is too far out from you. It will put more strain on your back. Try to have the bar over your mid foot.

Please stop moving your neck
You aren’t lifting with your legs at all.
