Creative Workstations for Video, 3D & Motion in Malaysia
Editing 4K footage, rendering 3D scenes and compositing motion graphics each make different demands on hardware. We build creative workstations scoped to your primary software and deliverable format, so render times drop and real-time playback stays smooth.

Workstation build, hand-assembled at Publika.
Where generic editing PCs fall short
Most pre-built editing machines are built around 1080p YouTube content, not professional post-production. Running DaVinci Resolve or Cinema 4D at full capability requires VRAM, storage throughput, and CPU and GPU balance that consumer-targeted builds do not deliver. The result is dropped frames in the timeline and render queues that run overnight for a three-minute deliverable.
Your software stack matters more than a spec sheet. A Redshift artist needs different hardware than a Premiere editor. We ask first, then build.
How we specify a creative workstation
Component classes, not part numbers. Your quote names the exact parts.
| Component | We specify | Why it matters in post-production |
|---|---|---|
Graphics | NVIDIA RTX · VRAM sized to your scenes | CUDA-accelerated rendering in Blender, Octane, Redshift and DaVinci Resolve. |
Processor | Multi-core + high single-thread speed | CPU-bound renders and exports, with responsive timeline scrubbing. |
Memory | 64–128 GB | Large project caches and multi-app sessions. |
Storage | NVMe for active media + secondary capacity | Active project media plays back smoothly, with room for render output and archives. |
Display output | Colour-accurate · multi-monitor | Timeline, scopes and reference on screen at the same time. |
I/O | Thunderbolt or USB4 where needed | For external storage or capture devices in your workflow. |
Does video editing use the processor or the graphics card?
Both, and the balance depends on your software and your footage. DaVinci Resolve leans heavily on the graphics card: colour grading, noise reduction and Fusion compositing all run there, so video memory decides how many nodes you can stack before playback stutters. Premiere Pro and After Effects rely more on the processor and memory, and use the graphics card for effects, scaling and exports.
The codec matters as much as the software. Long-GOP formats such as H.264 and H.265 play smoothly only when the hardware can decode that exact format, and some 10-bit 4:2:2 camera files are not supported by every graphics card. Intraframe formats such as ProRes and DNxHR are easier to scrub but need faster storage. That is why we ask which camera and codec you shoot before choosing between more cores and a bigger graphics card.
Matched to your primary software
Every workstation is assembled in-house at our Publika workshop and stress-tested before delivery. Post-delivery, we are reachable if you need to expand storage or upgrade the GPU as your projects grow.


- Assembled in-house at Publika
No drop-shipping, no outsourced assembly. Cables routed for airflow and easy upgrades. - Stress-tested under load
24 hours at full load on Prime95 and FurMark 2 before sign-off. Test logs available on request. - Specified for your software
Premiere, Resolve, After Effects, Blender, Cinema 4D or Houdini: render engines, codecs and plugins shape the spec. - OS and drivers ready
We set up the OS and drivers, and pre-install any software you provide a licence for.
Warranty, payment and delivery
Warranty on parts and labour
Each build carries its components’ manufacturer warranty, generally 3 years, covering parts and labour. If something fails, bring it to us and we handle the claim for you.
Free after-sales care
Dust cleaning, troubleshooting and the labour for upgrades are free for as long as you own the PC. Within the Klang Valley, we also collect and return it for servicing at no charge.
Cash, transfer, card or instalments
A 10–20% deposit, depending on the order value, starts the build. Instalments are available through SPayLater, subject to eligibility, and credit card plans with most banks, except Maybank, CIMB and Public Bank.
Delivered or collected
Free delivery within the Klang Valley. On-site setup is available for a charge. Self-collect at Publika Shopping Gallery.
Creative workstation FAQ
Yes. Adobe’s suite is more CPU and RAM-bound than GPU-bound. We calibrate accordingly: you will not pay for GPU VRAM you will not use, but you will have the CPU headroom Premiere and After Effects actually need.
Yes. We size storage throughput and GPU decode acceleration for professional camera RAW. Tell us your camera format and target codec and we will confirm the configuration before we quote.
We can pre-install and verify any software you provide a licence for. Most clients prefer to install themselves; we set up the OS and drivers so everything is ready.

Share what you edit, render or composite in, and the formats you deliver. We will come back with a configuration recommendation and quote.
