Granite Bay Software

Personal. Efficient. Powerful.

Granite Bay Software is dedicated to perfecting the art of time-lapse videography. GBTimelapse and GBDeflicker are cutting edge time-lapse solutions built on patented technology. Both tools are constantly evolving in response to demand from our broad base of international clients - everyone from high-end videographers to enthusiastic hobbyists. Our software is used in the making of IMAX films, Thursday Night Football, the National Geographic Channel, preparations for the Brazil 2016 Olympics and much more. The company is owned and operated by Mike Posehn, a former engineer and personal computer software pioneer. Started in January 1985, Granite Bay Software is a privately held corporation.

Posehn earned a BS (Mechanical Engineering), MS (EECS), and PhD (Dynamic Systems and Automatic Control) from UC Berkeley and began a career as an engineer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory shortly thereafter, but quickly switched to computer software in the late '70s.

Posehn was one of the early personal computer software pioneers and developed many products as an independent software author. He created several highly successful products in the '70s and '80s including Milestone and VisiSchedule for CP/M and Apple computers. He later worked independently creating the first desktop video program, Deluxe Video, for the Amiga computer (published by Electronic Arts). In the '90s he created the Desert Strike series of video games (also published by Electronic Arts).

More recently Posehn became fascinated with the nature of time and by looking at the world on different time scales. This fascination inspired the desire to capture what he saw with his digital still camera and assemble the images into time-lapse films and clips, which eventually led to the creation new and innovative software products.

Granite Bay Software produces GBTimelapse (since 2005) and GBDeflicker (since 2007) and provides all the technical support associated with the two products. We are a very small operation and appreciate your patience as we strive to produce high quality products and provide the highest level of personal customer support.
