I use
OBS Studio and
Screen to GIF. Here's a nice
tutorial on how to setup OBS Studio to record your game screen. OBS is nice because it does not affect your game fps and it records with high quality at 60+ fps. After I record what I want with OBS I then use Screen to GIF to optimize and create the gif the way I want. Here's how i do it:
1 - Open the Screen to GIF app, it will present to you this screen, then click on the
editor option

2 - The Editor screen will then be presented, so go to where OBS saved the video you just recorded, and drag and drop it inside the editor screen

3 - After you drop it into Screen to GIF, the app will show you a pre-import configuration screen to setup some aspects of the video before importing it, here's how I configure it

4 - After it's done importing, I then proceed to reduce it's file size by cropping the screen and reducing the images size

5 - After its done doing the cropping and resizing, save as gif, here how I do it

6 - One more thing before the end. I upload the created gif to my account on
Imgur. Imgur is nice because it keeps your images/gifs indefinitely and it generates the links for you to post on forums, like here in Hive. After you upload it there, click on your gif and the site will present the screen with links. If the Original Gif link is not presented, just copy the Gifv link and remove the v in the end

And that's it. When you creating a thread here in Hive, just use the insert image option and paste the link from Imgur.
If you are on versions below 1.27b of the game you need
Jass NewGen Pack in order to compile vJASS. If you are on 1.27b up to 1.29.0 you can use
WEX, although I think beginning from version 1.28 the game already supports vJASS natively, you just need to enable it in the World Editor

Just Create and account then. Warcraft Underground is a great site, it has tons of high quality models that people converts from other blizzard games like WoW or HOTS.
