I've packaged some basic Premiere Pro presets for everyone. It includes the old Film Fades from a ways back (the built-in Adobe version of the Film Fade doesn't really emulate a genuine film fade all that well), as well as some Letterboxing presets for both 16:9 and 4:3 media.
Unzip the file, and from the Presets bin do a Right Click>Import Presets...
The In/Out fades are based on the standard 1 second duration. If you need more or less, you'll have to adjust the keyframes.
The Title fade is based on the standard 5 second duration, so again longer or shorter titles will require a keyframe adjustment.
The Letterboxing presets are based on the Crop effect, after doing the math to determine how much should be cropped to get the desired result. The 16:9 options work equally well on SD or HD media. The 4:3 are obviously for SD only. The presets can be applied directly to a clip, to a nested sequence, or in CS6, to an Adjustment layer.
Enjoy.
