Its possible capture a selected area using imagemagick through command line?

For example capture=30,30,1,1

Yes. For example, on Windows:

Run>C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-7.0.7-Q16\convert.exe screenshot:[30x30+1+1] C:\Users\CAIO\Downloads\Nova pasta\x.png

Im running imagemagick through a macro app, how do i edit the command line?

I don't know what a "macro app" is.

EDIT2: I got it working now One doubt its possible make it faster? Theres a delay while capturing it, i mean it opens the cmd windows, . . . . close, etc

I normally run commands from a command window, so there is no overhead in opening or closing a window.

If you run commands by some other mechanism, perhaps it has a facility to bypass a command window. You should consult its documentation.

I was using irfanview before imagemagick, but irfan dont have a option to capture just a selected area i was capturing whole screen and cropping the area i need.

But even with imagemagick i have a delay like 1 sec
I need any solution faster, if you know any other program that can do that.
