How can I keep overlapping regions that I see in Imfuse and remove everything else in the image?

I used region props and have converted frames in a video binary images. How do I keep only the overlapping regions and remove everythign else? I would like to store the residual as frames to a video

This can be done in one line of code with imreconstruct().
J = imreconstruct(marker,mask) performs morphological reconstruction of the image marker under the image mask, and returns the reconstruction in J. The elements of marker must be less than or equal to the corresponding elements of mask. If the values in marker are greater than corresponding elements inmask, then imreconstruct clips the values to the mask level before starting the procedure.

Sure. Just simply use pre in imreconstruct() instead of both:
% Initialization steps. Brute force cleanup of everything currently existing to start with a clean slate.
clc; % Clear the command window.
fprintf('Beginning to run %s.m ...\n', mfilename);
close all; % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear; % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format long g;
format compact;
fontSize = 20;
pre = imread('pre.png');
post = imread('post.png');
% Convert to logical
pre = logical(pre(:,:,1));
post = logical(post(:,:,1));
% Show image.
subplot(3, 2, 1);
imshow(pre);
axis('on', 'image');
impixelinfo;
title('Pre', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Show image.
subplot(3, 2, 2);
imshow(post);
axis('on', 'image');
impixelinfo;
title('post', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Find common/overlap areas
overlapped = pre & post;
% Show image.
subplot(3, 2, 3);
imshow(overlapped);
axis('on', 'image');
impixelinfo;
title('overlapped', 'FontSize', fontSize);
fused = imfuse(pre,post,'falsecolor','Scaling','joint','ColorChannels',[1 2 0]);
subplot(3, 2, 4);
imshow(fused)
axis('on', 'image');
impixelinfo;
title('fused', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Make output image.
output = imreconstruct(overlapped, pre);
% Show image.
subplot(3, 2, 6);
imshow(output);
axis('on', 'image');
impixelinfo;
title('Output', 'FontSize', fontSize);
