@Kay_Opitz Just be aware that this processor is one of the Alder Lake family. There have been several posts about these processors being used with Shotcut (and other applications). See:

Melt.exe - priority vs. Alder Lake on Windows 10

Melt.exe is runing with below normal priority by default which makes it run using only E-cores but no P-cores on Windows 10 while using 12th Gen of Intel Core Alder Lake CPUs. Switching priority of melt.exe to normal in task manager helps to make work it using all cores but only for one encoding run. Is there any way to make Shotcut using all Alder Lake CPU cores for encoding permanently? Or any chance to fix this to make encoding work using all cores?

Dan has made some changes to Shotcut to enable you to increase its priority when executing, which helps, but I believe that there are still some issues. Also see here:
