TL;DR: In order to get the best learning experience, work with the videos that have high-quality manually generated subtitles (e.g., TED talks). Enable the option "Optimize subtitles" to get sentence-based Anki cards: one card per sentence.
The YouTube to Anki (Y2A) extension uses subtitle ranges to cut the corresponding audio fragments out of the downloaded video. If the subtitles are well-crafted by the creators of a YouTube video, the resulting Anki cards will 90%+ perfectly match the audio from the MP3 files generated by the extension.
YouTube's videos can have automatically and manually generated subtitles.

For the manually generated subtitles, the Y2A extension provides an optimization which merges the subtitle texts so that the full sentences are formed, one sentence per one Anki card. The optimization relies on the punctuation found in the subtitles, e.g. ".", ",", "?" in order to decide when a sentence should end. The option is enabled with the "Optimize subtitles" flag.
Examples of good YouTube videos that can be used for testing this extension:
When a video has automatically generated subtitles, it is most often that the extension cannot produce good Anki cards: the subtitle text will have neither capitalized letters nor punctuation, and therefore the Anki cards will not be sentence-based.
