Crop

Imagemagick

convert stereo0000.png -crop 50%x100% foo.png

convert -crop 800x1000 image.png cropped_%d.png

convert stereo*.png -gravity East -crop 50%x100%+0+0 right%04d.png
convert stereo*.png -gravity West -crop 50%x100%+0+0 left%04d.png

Warning! This one is the most effective but also potentially destructive:

mogrify -crop 50%x100% +repage -path ./cropped *.png

(+repage resets image geometry)
