I have a project shot in 1920x1080. I want now have the frame with black bars on top and bottom, and to put in subtitles at the bottom of the frame, on black the bars under the image like this:
The problem is, when I do it, and upload to youtube, it gives me black bars all around...any suggestions?

Are you cropping the video to make the black bars? If you're exporting 1920x1080 YouTube should not make black all the way around the image.
I don't use You Tube but at least in Vimeo, their encoder sees something like this correctly.
Here is what I assume is what you did…
To change the aspect ratio of the image without changing the frame size (which is what you're showing) use the Trim function in the Transform>Crop options. You will lose some of the image in the re-framing.

I dont' want to crop the image, so not sure if it's possible to do what I want to do with youtube. If I put it into a 4:3 frame, which works in the original, youtube crops everything down. Same as if I uprez it to 2048x1556--looks good in the original without any cropping, but then youtube punches it down and I have black all around the image...
