Anyway, you don't need a tutorial to understand point animation. The idea is pretty simple, you move points, you have keyframes. Each point has its independent keys. In timeline, red line show you only the keys of your selected points, gray line show you all the keys of all the points.
If you wanna hold a position for all the points, you must make right click on the gray line and select "add keyframe" that will add a keyframe for all the points on the layer. If you make that on the red line, it will add keyframes only for the selected points.
