# 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.

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

## Discussion

This is called after [`init(apiManager:)`](/documentation/professional_video_applications/FxTileableEffect/init(apiManager:)-6vvaz), [`addParameters()`](/documentation/professional_video_applications/FxTileableEffect/addParameters()), and [`properties(_:)`](/documentation/professional_video_applications/FxTileableEffect/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.
