Hi, could you include info like what kind of graphics card your computer has? If you do have a supported GPU, you may need to install the mesa-va-drivers package, for openshot to use your graphics card.
Here is Laptop HP Victus, double GPU Processor : AMD® Ryzen 7 5800h with radeon graphics:

• Hardware acceleration is still experimental in OpenShot Video Editor. • NVIDIA NVENC acceleration is only available in Linux operating systems. • OpenShot v2.6.0 and later includes Intel® Quick Sync Video encoding in Windows operating systems. If you have a CPU that supports Intel®QSV encoding, you can use the encoder by selecting the ( QSV) MP4 (h.264 qsv) Target on the Export Video window. You do not have to change the Preferences window to use the Intel® QSV encoder. • Hardware acceleration in OpenShot requires using the proprietary drivers from the distribution package manager instead of the NVIDIA drivers. You cannot use the Nouveau, Xorg, or open-source drivers. • AMD is not yet supported.
