Easiest way to convert FLV to MP4 or anything even?

Ive been trying to figure out how to convert FLV files to MP4 files for the past 2 hours.  I've tried using the convert function on the VLC player and it doesnt work and everything else I've seen has asked for 10-15 dollars.  There HAS to be a workaround for this somehow.  I have the complete Adobe Creative Cloud suite.  I just want a video that I can edit in premiere pro and its been insanely difficult so far.  Anyone have any good suggestions?

Well since you already have a CC account just download Media Encoder (if I'm not mistaken it supports .flv). If it doesn't, then Handbrake is the next best thing.

Adobe Media Encoder should be able to do this easily, or if not, I don't see why Premiere wouldn't just let you load a FLV in directly... it's their own format after all lol

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

rip. well that's dumb lol

But not surprising; it's not the first time an Adobe program has failed to open a common format that it definitely should be able to

Have you tried the other suggestions people have given?
