Please try this code. May be this is not the exact answer for your question. But perhaps can be an alternative.
Z = peaks;
N=200;
fig=figure('Renderer','zbuffer');
surf(Z);
axis tight manual;
set(gca,'NextPlot','replaceChildren');
y=[];
for j = 1:N
% pause(0.1)
subplot(25,1,25);
y=[y,1];
bar(y);
set(gca,'xtick',[],'ytick',[]);
axis([0.5 N 0 1]);
subplot(25,1,1:23);
surf(sin(2*pi*j/20)*Z,Z);
F(j)=getframe(fig);
end
close all
[height, width, p] = size(F(1).cdata);
MovieFigure = figure;
set(MovieFigure, 'position', [150 150 width height]);
axis off
movie(MovieFigure,F);
