Me equivoqué en la pregunta anterior. Lo que quería preguntar era este término, porque el otro ya está contestado con anterioridad en Proz.

Se trata de la primera frase de una transcripción de un DVD:

Fade up on MWS Peter and Lorne in gym.

¡Muchas gracias! :o)

Sorry, estaba buscando el nombre en español. Pensé en decirte primero qué significaban las siglas en inglés. A mí me resulta muy útil saber el significado de las siglas, aunque sea en el idioma original, porque así puedo deducir el significado en mi idioma de destino (trabajo mucho con siglas y muchas veces estas NO tienen nombre en español).

Espero que te sirvan los glosarios que te indico arriba. Tengo más URL de glosarios de este campo, por si los necesitas. :)
