English term or phrase: supers
...versions of the commercials in two languages that feature voiceovers, logos, supers and other local elements

Se trata de comerciales para televisión por estados.

Lo he visto como "superimposición de texto" pero como se habla de "y otros elementos locales" me despisto pues no sé que pueda tener de elemento local un texto superpuesto.

De antemano, gracias mil

extra, actor secundario


Explanation:
I am not sure, but I found that "super" (as a noun) is short form of "supernumerary actor" meaning an "extra".

Example from wikipedia:
"A super is not a principal or even a member of the chorus. Any show needs crowds and extras, but a super must fill the role with humility."

Check the link below. Maybe this meaning applies to your context.
