Question
Sir ,

In motion graphics,
Can we cut face of an object and add another object (in same video)

Answer
Hi Arun,

Yes, it certainly is possible to do this, in fact, this is done all the time to great comic effect, or as a high-end special effect. Usually this involves some combination of motion tracking (either using motion tracking software, say in After Effects) and rotoscoping. Color correction may also be used afterwards to help the composited layers blend nicely into each other.

I'm not sure if you have any other specific questions, but if you do, please let me know.
