Is there an automatic way to size and position a certain object in a series of images?

Question

For example, I want to achieve something like this youtube video where the face is perfectly sized and positioned every frame
https://youtu.be/65nfbW-27ps
The creator of the video mentions that he had to size and position each of the photos individually, I was wondering if there is a way of automating it?
I’m a newbie to photography and editing so I would be grateful if I could be pointed in the right direction if this has been answered before.

If you use Gimp, with the ofn-layer-aligner script:

you load both images as layers in the same Gimp image (File > open for the first, File > Open as layers for the others)
you set two points on the first (reference) image (typically, the center of the pupils)
you set two points on the second (target) image (the pupils again)
the script rotates/scales/moves the target layer so that the points coincide in both images.
