Spanish term or phrase: Edición, Montaje
From a description of a film production studio (Spain):

Sala Dolby120m2 para la **Edición, Montaje**y Mezclas para Cine.Salas de Grabación

3 salas de 30m2 para la edición de sonido, **montaje** y doblaje

*******
Both of these terms seem to be translatable into English as “editing,” and yet appear to refer to distinct processes.

Many thanks.

DRAE:

montaje:

8. m. Cinem. Acción y efecto de montar (‖ seleccionar y ajustar los elementos de una filmación).

Editar:
4. tr. Organizar las grabaciones originales para la emisión de un programa de radio o televisión.

The noun "edición" seems to be a less common usage in Spanish, or a more recent one.

Also, in your context seems like they are talking about "sound editing" and then (montaje), where they talk about "footage" editing.

The "dubbing" is the third element. But it could be that let's say you have an English program, a documentary. You get it dubbed by a Voice Over talent in Spanish. Usually the original English program would be already final edited, but it could be that it was an "offline" edit, and now needs to be finalized, as an "on-line" finished product.

The Spanish sound (dubbed) will have to be edited. (The Voice Over talent might have several takes, or his recording has to be properly positioned against the English final) That would be the "editing" (sound editing for your foreign version). Then you have your "montage" and then you can synchronize your dubbing with the images and you have your final video in its Spanish version.

In essence the 3 actions are almost the same or very similar, but each one has to be done correctly to be able to get a program that will be understandable... :-)

Hope it helps!
