1,000,000,000,000 FPS

It isn't actually shooting video at a trillion frames per second, in that it is not shooting one trillion frames. It's a camera with a shutter speed of 1/1,000,000,000,000th of a second capturing images rapidly which were collated into a video shown at a framerate a little more conducive to human eyes.

A second of video shot at a trillion frames per second would take centuries to view if slowed down to 30.

I know the video is only running at 30FPS, but the method you describe just wouldn't work, the video shown here is smooth and fluid, the method you describe would result in horrible quality video that would be slow and jerky, also a single camera couldn't possibly process a frame fast enough at that shutter speed. It's much more likely they had multiple camera's (probably hundreds) shooting video at a 1/1,000,000,000,000th delay between each other and that they resembled the frames afterwords.
