Budget feeder does not set your balances. This is important and is something you do need to do manually.

You'll be setting spending goals, and working to achieve them. The spending decisions you made before now are going to be different to those you will make now that you're using a budget. This is in line with YNAB's philosophy of looking forward, and leaving the past in the past.
