Be careful before buying the Pro version
Galleries are not created automatically. You need to add all the video links manually from Vimeo, which you can just as well do with WordPress or a Page Builder. The fact that it requires manual link creation is not stated in the product description, it just says Vimeo Gallery - Pro. But when refund was requested for Pro version, it was refused outright.

This is great plugin
This is the best solution for the Iframe lightbox.

Upgrade removes all functionality
In a clear violation of wordpress's T&C's, this author decided in the last revision to remove all functionality in this free version to force users to upgrade to his "pro" version for the same functionality that was free. Further, he removed the last "working" version from his svn, but left on the earlier bug ridden versions. This author is clearly unethical.

Unethical!!
Go pro banner appeared on my customer's web site when i upgrade it. This is unacceptable, unethical. WordPress must punish this plugin!

He removed the vimeo galleris for the free version. Not nice!
This was a very unpleasant surprise. I understand if you provide premium features from the get-go, but to remove this option and only allow it if people pay, is a very unfair move and a false advertising on wordpress for this plugin. All of our galleries, for our non-for-profit project, are gone now.

great multi-functional gallery
works fine and has many many options. Hopefully, it will continue as a free plugin with these features.
