Luminescent brushes similar to Procreate

Hi there... I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find some good quality luminous brush packs? I want something simple but effective - similar to the one's in Procreate. 

I've included a film below to give you an idea...

 

Many thanks!

Correct answer Trevor.Dennis

It's tricky doing it with a brush preset, because moving the brush continues to lay down colour which thickens the glowing edges.  If you define this as a brush preset.

And set spacing to 15% it will give you the effect below. The line is a brush stroke, and below is a single stamp of the brush.  Note: you canm see each stamp down in the upper line because of the wide spacing, so not ideal.

 

It's much better to use a Layer Style. In this case Outer Glow

If you create  something that you like, then save it as a New Style so you can simply select a layer and click on the Style, and it is done.

Quite frankly I don’t understand what the video is supposed to show. 

Could you post screenshots from Procereate to illustrate the kind of brush/effect you want to achieve?

AFAICT I'm seeing this smudge effect which might be water on a camera lens, or the Photoshop Smudge tool set to 11.

 

_Very_ carefully dragging the timeline (it is super sensitive) showed me this.  I think it might be a single frame, so hard to spot.  I'm interpretting it as an outer glow, so Layer Style and not a brush.  I'll have a look at ParticleShop, but I don't remember a brush that does that.
