Making an avi movie from a quiver plot.

I need to make an avi file from a quiver plot. I am new to matlab so please excuse the messy code. Here it is.
rawdata=xlsread('Flight_1_fixed.xlsx'); %Importing Data
time=rawdata(:,7);
Zaccel=rawdata(:,2);
Yaccel=rawdata(:,4);
Xaccel=rawdata(:,6);
resultant=rawdata(:,1);
for i=1:length(resultant) %Correcting for Outliers
if resultant(i)>5
resultant(i)=0;
elseif resultant(i)<1
resultant(i)=0;
end
end
for j=1:length(Zaccel) %Correcting for Outliers
if Zaccel(i)<1
Zaccel(i)=0
elseif Zaccel(i)>5
Zaccel(i)=0
elseif Yaccel(i)<1
Yaccel(i)=0
elseif Yaccel(i)>5
Yaccel(i)=0
elseif Xaccel(i)<1
Xaccel(i)=0
elseif Xaccel(i)>5
Xaccel(i)=0
end
end
% Zaccel=-Zaccel;
% Yaccel=-Yaccel;
% Xaccel=-Xaccel;
Zaccel=-2.0833.*Zaccel+5.146;
Yaccel=1.8868.*Yaccel-4.66;
Xaccel=-1.7857.*Xaccel+4.4107;
unitx=[]; %Creating X-componant of unit vector
for i=1:length(Xaccel)
unitx(i)=Xaccel(i)./resultant(i);
end
unity=[]; %Creating Y-componant of unit vector
for j=1:length(Yaccel)
unity(j)=Yaccel(j)./resultant(j);
end
unitz=[]; %Creating Z-componant of unit vector
for k=1:length(Zaccel)
unitz(k)=Zaccel(k)./resultant(k);
end
for i=1:length(Xaccel)
theta(i)=atan2d(sqrt(Xaccel(i)^2+Yaccel(i)^2),-Zaccel(i));
end
fid=figure;
hold on
writerObj=VideoWriter('AccelerationVector.avi');
writerObj.FrameRate=60;
open(writerObj);
for l=1:length(unitx)
pause(1e-15);
figure(fid);
quiver3(unitx(l), unity(l), unitz(l), Xaccel(l), Yaccel(l), Zaccel(l));
view(45,45);
axis([-2 1 -2 1 -2 1]);
M(l)=getframe(gcf);
writeVideo(writerObj, M);
end
hold off
close(writerObj);
The quiver plot shows me a changing vector in the xyz-plane. All I need is to export this as an avi file to put this "movie" in a presentation, but I get errors when trying to make the movie. So I just need this in an avi file, and I am not sure what to do.
