If you want fade in and fade out effects, it'll get more complicated though, you will have to either make a copy of the clip one layer above, and remove the text from the one below. Then you can add fadein/fadeout filter to the top clip. Alternatively you can add a transparent image and add text titles to that instead. It works with fade in out too. 3D text works the same way but at least in version 16.10.1 it doesn't work with the transparent image method. A more involved method is to create text titles in an external application, like for example Inkscape - my personal favorite.
