How to make content delay using CSS and Jquery

I am attempting to create a page where the content on the screen appears 3 seconds after the page loads. By the other posts I have seen on this website, I attempted the scripting below, though with no success (Everything appears at the same time).

First is the section I am attempting to delay, then is the whole pages script. Any guidance is very much appreciated. (I am hoping I am wording everything correctly this time so I don’t get another -1)

Section to delay:

    <div class="content">
                  <div id="fade">
                    <h1>Main Text</h1>
                    <h3>Secondary Text</h3>
                    <a href="#about" class="btn">Read More</a>
                  </div>
                </div>
            </section>
    
    
    <style>#fade p {
        opacity: 0;
        margin-top: 25px;
        font-size: 21px;
        text-align: center;
    }
    </style>
    
    <script>
    <$("#fade p").delay(3000).animate({"opacity": "1"}, 700);
    </script>

And here is the entire page

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
    </head>
    
    <body bgcolor="#000000" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
    
    
    
    
    
    <section class="showcase"> 
    <div class="video-container">
                    <video src="https://traversymedia.com/downloads/video.mov" autoplay muted loop></video>
                </div>
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
                <div class="content">
                  <div id="fade">
                    <h1>Main Text</h1>
                    <h3>Secondary Text</h3>
                    <a href="#about" class="btn">Read More</a>
                  </div>
                </div>

    }

    <script>
    <$("#fade p").delay(3000).animate({"opacity": "1"}, 700);

Answer

Here is what I ended up changing it all to, to make it work. Hopefully this will help others that are looking to do this.

.content {
  -webkit-animation: 3s ease 0s normal forwards 1 fadein;
  animation: 3s ease 0s normal forwards 1 fadein;
}

@keyframes fadein {
  0% {
    opacity: 0;
  }
  66% {
    opacity: 0;
  }
  100% {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

@-webkit-keyframes fadein {
  0% {
    opacity: 0;
  }
  66% {
    opacity: 0;
  }
  100% {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}
