Is there a way to apply the slow motion effect to only part of a video clip...not the entire clip? This is for MM2. Thanks!

Just split the clip into smaller clips, then apply the
effect on the appropriate smaller clip.

I would split the clip into two parts. Then you can apply the slow motion
to either clip

Do I have to split the clip when I put it on the computer? Or can MM2 split it?

Do I have to split the clip when I put it on the computer? Or is there an option in MM2?

When you add the clip to the collection, you can then drag it down onto the
timeline. Then, drag a second copy of the same clip down there. Then you can
grab either side and drag to trim the clip. You basically don't "split" the
clip, but rather trim one copy of it to show one sequence and trim the other
copy to show the second sequence.

I would just drag a single copy of the clip onto the
timeline, and split it on the timeline.

This advice is wrong. All the OP needs to do is drag one copy to the time
line and split it into the appropriate parts, perhaps delete any unwanted
parts and then take it from there.

Good point. I missed the splitting because it doesn't seem to be on the
popup menu and I seldom look on the Clips menu. While my method will work,
John's is simpler and more direct.
