Adobe Premiere Pro — Cc 7.2.2 Build 33 Final
Adobe Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 Build 33 Final refers to a specific point-release build of Adobe’s Premiere Pro CC (Creative Cloud) video-editing application. The “7.2.2” denotes the minor-version level in that CC generation, and “Build 33 Final” indicates a finalized build number for that release.
In the world of software piracy and archiving, the term "Final" is often appended to cracked or leaked software to denote a stable, "complete" version before a major overhaul. In this context, Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 is often remembered fondly
Adobe Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (Build 33) is a maintenance update released in early 2014 for the initial Creative Cloud version of Premiere Pro. This specific build primarily focused on stability improvements and bug fixes rather than introducing major new creative features, which were reserved for the larger 7.2 update.

The word "Final" in software builds usually signals two things: end-of-life for that branch, and ultimate stability. For video editors, stability equals money.
