Bonjour,
Je dois traduire la phrase suivante : Whether you're cutting together spots, shorts, or features, you push your system to the max. Elle s'adresse à des artistes.
Je ne comprends pas ce que signifie "cutting together spots, shorts, or features". Quelqu'un pourrait-il m'éclairer?
Merci!

Montage
Spots, shorts and features are all types of films or videos (a feature = feature length like a normal movie or documentary; shorts = short films; spots = TV advertisement). Cutting together = combining footage that isn't continuous (for instance, cutting from a long shot to a close-up). "Montage" is the word for the technical process of choosing what footage to use, editing it together so it flows, and combining it with sound--i.e. the technical process of actually putting together a finished film/video. Since it's a noun in French vs. a verb in the source language, you would have to rephrase the sentence when translating.

PS: As you can see I was just talking about the translation of "cutting together." For spots, shorts and features, you can easily look up the French terms once you know that the context is cinema/TV. Assuming this is European French, you can say "un spot publicitaire" or "une pub" for spot; the others are pretty universally "un court métrage" and "un long métrage."
