user34525: When there's a file missing in the imported image sequence, there is a filename displayed in the corner. Is there a way in After Effects to have the file name displayed all the time even on non-missing frames? Thank you.

It was relating to audio files, but the principle is the same.
You would make a text layer, then apply this expression to the Source Text field in the text layer:
thisComp.layer(2).name

Anything on layer 2 in the comp would then have its file name displayed in the text layer.
