INTRODUCTION
Premiere Elements 11 and 12 Publish+Share do not offer the Sharing to Videotape feature as do versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 11 (for example, version 4, 7, 8.0/8.0.1, 9.0/9.0.1, and 10).
This fact can be seen by visual inspection of Premiere Elements 11 and 12 Publish+Share.
Yet, Adobe document "Premiere Elements/Sharing to videotape" is targeted to Premiere Elements 11. And, online excerpt from "Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Classroom in a Book/Sharing and Exporting Videos" supports the idea that Premiere Elements 12 Publish+Share includes the Sharing to Videotape feature when it includes videotape in its exports.
Interestingly, right under that Adobe Creative Team statement is a screenshot of the Premiere Elements 12 Publish+Share choices, and Tape is not included there.
ISSUE
Does Premiere Elements 11 and 12 have the Sharing to Videotape in its Publish+Share section or not?
One thought was that it might be a Publish+Share feature that could be seen only when a firewire connection was made between the miniDV camcorder/computer/Premiere Elements 11 or 12.
SOLUTION
In the absence of a miniDV camcorder....
Adobe Confirmation Premiere Elements 11 And 12 Publish+Share Do Not Have Sharing To Videotape
The answer was sought from an Adobe representative who confirmed that Premiere Elements 11 and 12 Publish+Share do not have the Sharing to Videotape feature as do versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 11 (for example, version 4, 7, 8.0/8.0.1, 9.0/9.0.1, and 10) and who said the Adobe was in the process of correcting any of its documentation that might suggest otherwise.
