+It is believed that the 1st and third step are unnecessary, see Gregory's porst above. It looks like these steps are copied from exampes like [[macros:example:doublechasespeed]] where it is required to store and restore the selected playback - which is not the case here.
+''ActionScript.SetProperty.Enum("Playbacks.Editor.Times.CueMode", "Mode1")'' simply sets the fader mode of the playback which is currently in the editor to Mode1.
 ===== How to use it =====
-  - [[macros:deploying|make this macro available]]
+Put this snippet into a proper macro file and [[macros:deploying|make this macro available]]. \\
+With a cue programmed, now you can , instead of going to Edit Times, or Playback View/Options, or Playback Options/Playback, simply fire this macro to set the cue to Fader Mode 1 == Timed Fade In & Out.
