# finishInitialSetup()

Finishes the initial setup and is called exactly once on first application of your plug-in to allow it to do anything else it needs to in order to finish setting itself up.

## Declaration

```swift
optional func finishInitialSetup() throws
```

## Discussion

Discussion This is called after init(apiManager:), addParameters(), and properties(_:). note: This method will never be called by Final Cut Pro as it was called when the plug-in was initially added to the template in Motion.
