    Not sure whether you can do this in AE or they’ve used a automated app or something.

    I’d image its possible in AE (with alot of work) but perhaps theres a new bit of software out that does this in a quicker ios-y type way!

    (incidentally, for you non ‘soccer’ fans out there, that’s the Manchester United Manager and ex Liverpool manager in a Superman V Batman Mash up type bizarre video!)

    You can.

    Nope.

    Basically you would mask out the faces that you want to replace over the original footage. Then you would track the faces from the original footage and use that data to stick the new faces on them. A basic version of the Mocha tracker comes with AE and that would be a pretty good tool for this kind of thing.

    New in Ae CC 2015, a face tracker:

    It doesn’t make this iOS-automatic, but it could simplify the work some.
