I'm a bit confused. If the video demonstrates the process you want, then what is the problem?

Is the video a "real time" recording, or did you create the video to demonstrate the process that you want scripted (therefore it wasn't a live recording)?

It also appears that the image is being resized in the video, rather than only being clipped to a new shape?

Translation software from Hindi: "This movement is being done by a software. ..can it be move & place from script"

The short answer is yes, in a scripting kind of way!

The script would be run once on a selected layer to set the source layer. Then the same/different script could be run a second time to move the previously nominated layer to the newly selected target layer position.

Or perhaps if there were uniquely coloured labels on the layers, or unique names, a specific script could be run once as the source and target is explicitly indicated.

You would need to write out step by step exactly what you require.

For example, when the layer is moved, it must be above the clipping group layer.

When the layer is moved, should it be centred or upper left to the new clipping group layer content? Should the image be resized or left at the same size as before? What if the aspect ratio is different, what has to happen?

Why use clipping group layers? Why not use layer alpha channels to create selections/masks? Why don't you use a frame instead?

It would be best to supply a PSD copy of the template file.

The project scope and requirements really need to be made clear so as not to waste any volunteer's time.
