Is there a way to add a Fade transition, but fading to/from white instead of black? I can't find that option anywhere. Only Fade, and that's to/from black.

One method, put a white colorboard in video track 1, with your video clips in track 2, apply a fade to end of clip 1 and another fade at the start of clip 2.

This will fade the first clip out to white, and then from white fade into the color of the second clip.

I'm surprised there isn't a "Fade (White)" transition included, it doesn't seem like something that's too hard to make. Plus I bought Ultra, and it's not an option there either. I didn't need it for right now, I just wanted it as an option for convenience.

It's not a standard transition, and no version of PD has it. There are 3rd party (paid) options, like Pixelan's DissolveMaster.

As you can see, it has many presets that fade to white, and each of these can be tweaked in just about every way imaginable:

I do this all on track one, where the white borad is simply another video source. By adding two cross fade transitions, I dissolve to it, and then from it to a new clip. The end result is a fade to white and a fade up from white.
