English translation:Screen graphics: fly and masonry
Explanation:
La rotulación es el arte de dibujar = Screen graphics.
Mosca = fly
Cairons = moellons in French, which is apparently "masonry rubble". Perhaps they refer to the design pattern, maybe it loks like stones ?

Sometimes we need to ask the people (clients) who use certain more recondite or jargonistic terms what the heck they are supposed to mean...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Neil, after doing some more research on these, neither of your terms seem to hit the mark. Mosca, in the context of video editing, refers to a DOG or digital on-screen graphic (it's also known in the US/Canada as a "bug" - but not "fly"). And cairons, according to wikipedia, seems to have a similar-sounding English equivalent: chyrons = "television graphics that occupy the lower area of the screen". Thanks for your help, anyway!
