Is there a way to highlight cuts & transitions?

Wanted to know if there is a way to highlight cuts & transitions easily. I have a multicam video I am editing and switching between the two tracks. Problem is my cuts may be on the same track and I put effects on some of the smaller cuts so when I zoom out on the timeline it is hard to see my cuts because they are so close together. I guess I could move those cuts to a diffrent track but it a hassle and still some of those cuts are very small below a second sometimes and even on a diffrent track it can be hard to see on a longer video. Also is there a way to make the transitions stand out more, that's my only complaints so far I love it for everything else.

First thing that comes to my mind is that you can drag the bottom border of the left-hand track header, which makes every event along the track bigger. That and scrolling in with a mouse wheel to quickly zoom in on the events would give you a quick way of visualizing what you have. You can also right-click and change the track colors to something easier to see.

Have you tried the A-B switch on every video track. There is a minimize, under that is restore, under that is A-B.

A-B causes every other clip to alternate between an expanded (up and down) track view, with transitions on a small track between them. Interesting effect.
