Is it normal the utilization CPUand GPU edcoding is about 20%

Would probably help if you could give us the rest of your settings. If you didn’t configure to use the GPU, then I’d fully expect it to be in the 20s or so. CPU being that low is a bit more surprising, but depends on what options you selected and how much that varies from the initial files you’re using.

Yes. It is not a bug. See also

Cannot use Hardware encoding

Hello, I am trying to encode some video (mp4), load it to the timeline, make some editing and set to encode it: In the “use hardware encoder” checked, popped up a message saying 'Detected hardware encoder - h264_nvenc. Then made other settings as on attached screenshot, pressed the “export file”. In the task manager I saw CPU 99% GPU 6%, I gather hardware encoder not working.

It appears that, in your case, there is not much processing and only decoding. Shotcut still decodes on the CPU, and that becomes a bottleneck for the encoding. It does not make sense to do hardware-accelerated decoding if all of your processing and effects are not using the GPU. Making everything run on the GPU can be a goal, but it is extremely difficult to do cross-platform and cross-vendor. That is why some companies’ software only supports NVIDIA CUDA for GPU for example. Shotcut is not going that way.
