How does Vimeo for WooCommerce work?
The Vimeo plugin connects your WordPress site directly to your Vimeo account. Once connected, users can search all the Vimeo videos on the WordPress site, upload new videos, and even create videos. For e-commerce sites, the plugin also works with WooCommerce and videos can be uploaded to the product gallery or a video tab. Videos can be created automatically from the product images.

Review
I had a great time making product videos and found it easy to use, and I expect I will be using this a lot. You can generate videos with just a few product images. You don’t even need video content. You can add text and there is a nice choice of fonts, I found the right font to match my website.
